Great trip all round.Stan the bus driver was wonderful. We'll informed with a great sense of humor. Very helpful in helping me off and o the coach.The boat trip was spectacular The buffet lunch was Amazing. Enough food for seconds if needed. Thankyou.
Trip geboekt vanaf Te Anau. Busreis enkel duurt dan 2 uur. Mooie boottocht en geluk met het regenweer. Hierdoor veel watervallen. Lunch prima en op de terugweg nog verschillende zeehonden gespot.
Stan our driver was an amazing tour guide. The right blend of sharing info, jokes, moments of silence and taking care of us all. The crew looked after everyone on board. Lunch was a selection of fresh, fried and sweet with the chef on hand to restock when needed. Very informative leader on the boat. Stan kept great time and allowed us to have extra stops where needed to take awesome snaps of running waterfalls. Highly recommend this tour!
We decided to book the bus ride plus buffet with Southern Discovery and I thoroughly recommend this deal. The main reason is that we had an excellent bus driver (Greg) who not only handled the bus confidently in heavy rain and wind but gave interesting facts throughout (and plenty of jokes!). We didn't have to worry about the road and enjoyed the views around us. The buffet was delicious and especially welcomed in the stormy weather. Despite the storm, we managed to see lots of waterfalls and enjoy ourselves. It was like being in a scene from Avatar! Highly recommend.
