Dart River Jet Safaris
Great experience.
They split all guests into 2 groups. One starts with the bus trip through the off road to Paradise and the Lord of the Rings filming locations and then the Forest Road to finish with a jet boat ride. We did this and think it is the best to finish with the most exciting part. But if you do not get the choice, everything is great especially if you have sun during the day and if it rained a few days before as it makes the river more fun and interesting.

Mitre Peak Cruises
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.
