Begin with a scenic helicopter flight over the Southern Alps, taking in towering peaks, glaciers, and alpine valleys, before landing in Milford Sound for a leisurely boat cruise with our partner, Southern Discoveries. Glide past sheer cliffs and cascading waterfalls, and keep an eye out for dolphins and other wildlife on the water. After your cruise, board the helicopter again for a remote alpine or glacier landing with stunning photo opportunities, before returning to Queenstown.
