Great trip in helicopter to glacier, hiking on the glaciers was brilliant, guide was good, helicopter ride could be a little longer, but great day.

Amazing large rock formations on mountains, great to climb or just wander around for hours.
A brilliant sight to see.

The drive to Milford Sound, through a tunnel, around waterfalls is almost better than the paid boat cruise, jaw dropping scenery.

Rated as a medium track, found difficult and dangerous, two large river crossings and lots of very slippery ricks on a steep incline, needs maintenance.
Caves incredible but dangerous.

Good fun, cable car up the mountain, great views to luge down - 3 rides and cable car for $45, good for the money and lots of fun racing down the mountain.

2.5/5
Expensive, $40 for 2, non-powered campsite, facilities okay but not great for the money.
Good showers.
In this day and age, I can't imagine why you say that $20pp is expensive? You have a safe, warm dry place to park your van in the middle of a beautiful part of NZ. You have a well appointed kitchen, a laundry facility, a nice warm common building with TV and an on - site restaurant?
The facility cost me $4 million to build, just so you could have a place to park overnight for $20. Most camp grounds that charge just $20 per person will charge for showers and are very run down. We also give you free wifi, free DVD hire and we have a happy hour in the restaurant for our guests. The shower floors are tiled and they are hot like you said. That seems like a very small investment on your part?

Good operator, smaller boat than most, closer to the waterfalls and marine life including seals.
Best on a clear day, unfortunately ours was not.

Good spot on the beach, mussels on rocks - delicious for dinner, facilities basic - just a toilet but free so expected.
