Such a cool experience! The cave itself is a unique experience and I'm a little surprised we weren't warned about the noise, low thresholds, and confined spaces, but it was brief. Niall was our guide…Full review by Laura R

Is the morning tour at 745am or night tour at 930pm better? Just want to make full use of the price I'm paying for this tour.

I'm not sure what you mean by the ship docks. If you mean Milford Sound, you have to take a bus to the town of Te Anau, about 2 hours away. Then you go to the lakefront and buy your tickets at the tourist office. The company is called Real Journeys. It's right in the center and you can easily ask any local.
