A smaller boat than the other companies. The captain skilfully mastered the elements. Thanks to Math and his first mate.

This was an amazing cruise, the commentary was informative, the smaller boat and early morning departure at 8.50 am was a great choice as we were able to get up close and personal with penguins, seals and were privileged to have the dolphins join us for a ride, even more spectacular was the incredible scenery of Milford Sound. Very special !!
