Tui Campers
The campervan is excellent, plenty of space and everything you need.
Tui claims to check the vans but one safety belt was malfunctional (a concern).

Cascade Creek Campsite
Nice site and views, close to Milford Sound so you can do the scenic road early next morning.
Plus, the early tour of Milford Sound to avoid the pack.

We were very lucky with the weather.
It cleared after a few rainy days. Brilliant (short) scenic flight to the glacier, nice walk, climbing through blue ice. Perfect.

Oamaru Blue Penguin Colony
Not worth the money!
You have to pay big bucks while you are not even allowed to take a picture or film, even without flash. The organisation has webcams, mikes etc.

Glacier Explorers
Well organised, efficient, good guiding.
Nice boat ride on the lake getting close to the icebergs. Unfortunately due to safety precautions, we had to stay a long way from the terminal face.
