Milford Sound Nature Cruise

The cruise was good, the boat was smaller than some of the others and not crowded. However, we did set off after a couple of boats and noticed they got much closer to some of the waterfalls, and also went further out at the mouth of the Fjord, we turned back a bit earlier than them. That being said, we went right up to one of the waterfalls and even saw some dolphins. All in all a lovely trip, it just seemed slightly less in depth / long as some of the others like RealNZ, hence 4*.
