Chose Mitre Peak Cruises because they have a smaller boat and certainly was not dissapointed.
Less people meant it was easier to get around and get that perfect picture. Based on what the other larger boats were doing we went further out of the Sound and got much closer to waterfalls and wildlife. Commentary from the Captain was very entertaining and informative. If you are looking for a cruise company, pick these guys.

We did the tour at 4:30pm, less people, small boat, around 30 people, space for 75, funny skipper (entertaining), got very close to the seals as the boat is so small.
-
-
It was a small boat with just 25 people (much less than other boats).
Although the weather was not perfect, the Milford Sound was beautiful.
-
Very professional service and a beautiful trip, dramatic scenery and a stunning drive to get there!
-
Best boat tour I have done so far.
Nice scenery, seals, dolphins, a penguin and the perfect boat size and very friendly crew.
-
The weather started off cloudy with low cloud for the first 1/8 of the top then cleared up to amazing views of the whole Fjord.
-
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.
-
Small cruise company with small ships.
They go further into the Sound than other companies and give good information about wildlife and nature.
-
We took the trip with Mitre Peak Cruises as they have smaller boats, but nothing too extraordinary.
-
-
Small boats so less people onboard.
But be careful, they won't hesitate to lie to you about the weather forecast to fill a morning cruise, even if it is foggy and it is expected to clear up in the afternoon. The cruise is totally amazing if it is clear, but don't go if there is fog! You won't see half of the mountains!
-
This cruise would be very good on a clear day.
We had a cloudy day and did not see anything. Waterfalls were good though.

We chose Mitre Peak Cruises ($82NZD per person), small boat, less people, good service, free coffee and tea, beautiful/stunning landscape, totally worth it.
-
Small boat, only 7 of us on it!
Went right up close to the waterfalls, very informative staff and saw dolphins. Tad expensive for the length of cruise.
-
Great operator and nice crew, who turned an overcast and chilly day into a great experience.
Did not get to see the top of the peaks, but plenty of wildlife - seals, dolphins, and a couple of Fiordland penguins.
Ship is quite small, but there's plenty of space to move about. Back on shore, we looked at the crowded, "tourist factory" ships from other companies, and we thought we really had made the right choice.
-
They have smaller boats then other companies what we really liked.
Friendly staff. Coffee and Tea included on board.
-
Great two hour cruise, small boat, morning cruise had very few people, $70 per person, coffee and tea included.
-
We took the last vessel going out at 4.30pm.
Less people and tourist buses were gone. It is a very touristic place which distracts a little bit from the beauty and mystery of this site. But still beautiful.
