The experience

The Ultimate Milford Sound Scenic Flight Experience

Experience Milford Sound and its breathtaking surroundings on this all-encompassing aerial adventure.

Begin with a spectacular scenic flight over the Southern Alps before landing in Milford Sound for a short scenic walk and photo opportunity. From here, fly the full 16km length of New Zealand’s most iconic fiord, taking in sheer cliffs, towering mountains, and cascading waterfalls as you journey westward to where the Tasman Sea meets the rugged coastline.

Touch down on an isolated West Coast beach to truly experience the raw, untamed beauty of this remote region. Your return flight to Queenstown includes a final alpine or glacier landing, offering one last unforgettable perspective of Fiordland’s dramatic landscapes.

Highlights include:

Aerial views of Milford Sound and the Southern Alps
Landing in Milford Sound for photos and exploration
West Coast and Tasman Sea beach landing
Glacier and alpine landings with views of blue-green ice falls
Optional private charter experience
