Hiking at Milford Sound
5

The help in getting a spot on the back up cruise for Doubtful Sound is a perfect example of why working with a pro is so critical!

Thanks for creating the perfect experience for us. The help in getting a spot on the back up cruise for Doubtful Sound is a perfect example of why working with a pro is so critical!  It was unfortunate the weather kept us off the Franz Josef glacier, but overall it was amazing how much we did in 30 days. So many great pictures it is hard to pick 1, but this is from hike in Milford Sound.
