Milford Sound was engraved by glaciers during the ice ages. The fiord's cliffs ascend vertically from the dark waters, mountain peaks rub the sky and waterfalls pour downwards from as high as 1000 meters. When it rains in Milford Sound, and it often does, those waterfalls proliferate with magnificent effect. Milford Sound is in the heart of a rainforest which makes walls of temporary waterfalls on a wet day receding to just two permanent waterfalls Lady Bowen Falls and Stirling Falls. Boat cruises – during the day or overnight – are an outstanding way to experience the Sound. Daring and Adventurous types might also like to head out sea kayaking, diving or flight seeing.</span></div>

Punting on the Avon is one of the iconic tourist attractions in Christchurch. Like punting at Oxford and Cambridge in England, our punting experience uses flat-bottomed boats with no keel, pushed by a pole.

This was our first trip at abroad, we were having lots of questions with us how will be the company, will get Jain food and many more but with flamingo the answers was yes we got best company and excellent food all over the trip. We didn't only get Jain food but we got full Gujarati dish &quot;Shikhand Puri&quot;, &quot;Pani Puri&quot;, &quot;Puran Puri&quot;, and many Indian dishes, it was really very surprising for us. The hotels provide by them for stay were also so good. The tour manager Devarshi Mam itself was so supportive. We never realized that tour manager is with us she was like our family member.

Mr. Hemang Patel

South Africa so well organised and memorable

<div>With flamingo tours, it was our 1st trip which is made a memorable one. Our tour manager Mr. kushal shah is just perfect guide.</div>
<div>On the very first day <span style="font-weight: bold;">Mr. Kushal shah</span> wanted us to have a great bonding amongst each other so that we get the best experience possible. He always tried to serve the best food and at the proper time. The thing that was best in him was that he always shared some or the other things related to the place we were visiting in an interesting manner. Mr kushal shah tried to give information about the place in an easy language understoodable by every participant and never meant to behave partial with anyone. A negative or say a sad point&nbsp; was that the Orlando hotel which was felt comparatively poor quality. We were given quality shopping time and he also enlisted what activities are to be done in parks that are the best in that particular part. It was overall a very good and unforgettable experience.&nbsp;</div>
<div>At last would say that hats off to the tour manager<span style="font-weight: bold;"> Mr. kushal shah.</span></div>
