Wir hatten super Wetter, zig Wasserfälle, da es kurz vorher geregnet hatte, gute, informative Führung
Der Ausflug war sehr gut organisiert und Ian, unser Busfahrer war sehr daran interessiert, uns möglichst viele Informationen über die Gegend zu geben. Auf der Fahrt zum Sound haben wir ein paar Stopps eingelegt, zb an den Mirror Lakes. Die Bootstour auf dem Sound an sich war traumhaft- einziges Manko: das Buffet auf dem Boot war nicht erwähnenswert
Die Tour nach Milford Sound war genauso wie erwartet. Man verbringt viel Zeit im Bus, da eine weite Strecke zurückgelegt werden muss. Die Tour an sich war trotzdem sehr schön. Unsere Busfahrerin Lou hat viel über die Gegend, die Vögel und Neuseeland im Allgemeinen erzählt, was sehr interessant war. Die Bootstour war etwas enttäuschend, was am Wetter liegen könnte. Es gab immer noch einige Infos und das Essen an Bord war gut, aber ich hatte irgendwie erwartet mehr zu sehen. Doch dafür können die Veranstalter ja nichts. Die Rückfahrt im Bus war recht entspannt. Es gab zwar nicht mehr viele Informationen, aber wir haben einen Film geguckt, der auch mit der Geschichte Neuseelands zusammenhängt.
We left from Te Anau on time - but the day was a bit overcast. However, just a short time after that, the sun started burning through, and EVERYTHING came to life. (In case anyone was wondering, God really does answer prayer - even about little things.) The bus driver spoke with a strong Kiwi accent, so we Americans didn't catch everything he said; but he obviously knew the winding route like the back of his hand. We had a couple of great stops - one to see the intelligent and beautiful Kea Parrots - on the way, and we saw beautiful snow melting into more waterfalls than I could count along the way. The boat travel through Milford (Fjord) Sound was fabulous as it had snowed on top of the mountains the day or night before. There were waterfalls entering the fjord every 60 meters, I would guess. We saw seals and penguins who swam along like porpoises. Oh yes, the buffet on the boat was scrumptious! I have *SO* many photos to process and sort... :)

Gigantisch
Mit Stan als sehr humorvollen und sympathischen Reiseführer hat der Ausflug schon ideal begonnen. Wir haben mehrere Stops auf dem Weg gemacht und einiges lernen können. Die Bootstour durch die Fiorde von Milford Sound war fantastisch! Abgesegen von dem sehr leckeren Buffet war der Service sehr gut. Milford Sound an sich ist einfach gigantisch! Die Berge mit ihren Wasserfällen vom Wasser aus zu sehen war jeden Cent wert! Das sollte man nicht missen. Wir haben sogar ein paar Robben gesehen. Die Tour ist definitiv eine Empfehlung.
