The restrictions

Physical
Please note that this adventure involves walking on and off the aircraft as well as exploring Stewart Island on foot. You should be comfortable with moderate walking and able to navigate uneven terrain.
Accessibility
All air operators are required by law to take into consideration where they seat passengers with disabilities, and whether passengers seated near emergency exits are able to assist with emergency evacuation if required. Where a passenger is able to physically assist in their own evacuation in the case of an emergency, with prior notification, we can make arrangements for them and their wheelchair to be carried on board our aircraft. We have found that where a passenger can stand with assistance, we can safely help them to negotiate the aircraft steps and seat them clear of the exits.
Carriage of passengers with a limited mobility in sightseeing aircraft presents unique challenges for both passengers and staff, and therefore please accept our sincerest apologies but it would be unlikely we are able to have you fly with us. Please feel free to contact us to discuss your circumstances and we can advise on an individual basis.
Unfortunately, not all the operators who we organise the Milford Sound Cruises with are not wheelchair friendly.
Pregnancy & Babies
This activity is suitable for pregnant women, offering a gentle self-guided experience on Stewart Island.
Children
Our child ages are 3-14 and infant age is inclusive of 2 years.
