    Chose Mitre Peak Cruises because they have a smaller boat and certainly was not dissapointed.

    Less people meant it was easier to get around and get that perfect picture. Based on what the other larger boats were doing we went further out of the Sound and got much closer to waterfalls and wildlife. Commentary from the Captain was very entertaining and informative. If you are looking for a cruise company, pick these guys.

    We picked the 8:55am cruise as it is $10 cheaper and we camped at Milford Sound.

    The weather was not great: raining and foggy so it was not great to start but it cleared up afterwards. The boat was one of the small ones which was good to take pictures and see everything. We came really close to the seals and the boat stayed long enough for us to take videos and pictures. Great experience but better when sunny and clear.

    Great operator and nice crew, who turned an overcast and chilly day into a great experience.

    Did not get to see the top of the peaks, but plenty of wildlife - seals, dolphins, and a couple of Fiordland penguins.

    Ship is quite small, but there's plenty of space to move about. Back on shore, we looked at the crowded, "tourist factory" ships from other companies, and we thought we really had made the right choice.

    We took the last vessel going out at 4.30pm.

    Less people and tourist buses were gone. It is a very touristic place which distracts a little bit from the beauty and mystery of this site. But still beautiful.

    The boat allowed plenty of room for everyone to be above board, despite being small. Staff were really friendly and informative. Very punctual and reasonably priced. Free tea and coffee which is always a bonus!
