Paysage que vous ne trouverez nulle part ailleurs

Je suis parti de Queenstown. Etant donné que mon hotel etait loin du centre ville, ils nous ont envoyé un taxi avec que je puisse prendre le bus de la companie au lieu de rassemblement. La classe ! !. Nous avons vu des paysages incroyable. Des cascade et des montagnes a coupé le souffle. Un bon déjeuner a été pris au sein du ferries.Activité à absolument faire.

Milford Fiord

Croisière intéressante pour la durée du bus (5h aller 5h retour si on compte les haltes photos). Attention trajet très touristique!

Beautiful! But cloudy

The travel time was excellent, the driver (Junior) is really funny and kind. The bus is really comfortable and it’s really necessary because it’s a long way. Unfortunately the weather there was really cloudy, but the place is beautiful anyway. I’ll come back there for sure but I’ll see the weather forecast first!
