The Milford Wanderer, Milford Sound
Our family business was founded in Fiordland in the 1950’s by tourism and conservation pioneers Les and Olive Hutchins.
Sixty years later, we offer tourism experiences from Stewart Island to Queenstown; including world renowned cruises through Milford and Doubtful Sounds, the Te Anau Glowworm Caves and heritage steamship TSS Earnslaw.
Rated Qualmark Enviro Silver across all its products, Real Journeys is widely regarded as a leader in the New Zealand tourism industry. It has been awarded “Operator of the Year” by the Tourism Export Council (NZ) – more times than any other company.
For us though, the aim is still quite simple – to share the natural heritage and astounding beauty of the region with visitors – just as our founders intended.
