Really enjoyed this trip! The sights, food, and activities were amazing and we want to go again! Pretty much everything went off without a hitch from arrival to departure. Monica was even able to adjust the plan halfway through to accommodate a sailboat trip.
There was a good variety of activities and the pacing was just right too. We felt like we did as much as we could while also not rushing between everything. The tour options Monika suggested felt like the best of the best, and we were provided a good selection of solo adventure options when we wanted to branch out on our own. 5 star visit for sure.
Activity Reviews
This was one of the coolest things we did on our whole trip. Our guide Ash was friendly, knowledgeable, and had impeccable taste. I've already recommended this tour to strangers on their way to Christchurch and to friends who aren't even planning a trip yet, it's just that good.
Everyone said the Milford Sound was a must-see destination, and I completely agree. Our tour guide was funny and informative, and the small group size was perfect for us. The "Fly" portion was cancelled due to the wind, but being out on the boat in those same winds was one of the coolest things I've ever experienced, so it all worked out perfectly.
This was a totally unique experience for me, I had seen the pictures of the glow worms online but that does not compare to the experience of actually seeing them in person. This tour takes you into some small caves where you get up close and personal, I think I was within inches of the glow worms at one point, and it was so cool!!! The guides were really wonderful and they all knew their stuff. Plus, the kayaking itself was pretty easy. Overall a fantastic time!
Thank you so much for the lovely feedback, Rachael ! I’m so happy you and John had such a great trip and that everything went smoothly — even the last-minute sailboat plan. It was a pleasure to help create those memories with you. Take care! Warm regards, Monika
