Take your Queenstown adventure to new heights with an Epic Milford Sound Scenic Flight — one of New Zealand’s most breathtaking aerial experiences. Operated by Glenorchy Air, this unforgettable tour lets you witness towering peaks, glaciers, and fjords from a bird’s-eye perspective.
Fly:
Your adventure begins with a spectacular scenic flight from Queenstown. Buckle in for a jaw-dropping journey over Lake Wakatipu, then trace the braided rivers of the Dart-Rees Valley. As you gain altitude, feast your eyes on endless snow-covered mountains and glaciers, including the Olivine Ice Plateau, Earnslaw Burn Glacier, and the dramatic Mt. Tutoko Glacier. Marvel at the untouched wilderness of Mt. Aspiring National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Area.
Explore:
Touch down in the legendary Milford Sound, one of New Zealand’s most iconic natural wonders. Here, you’ll have up to 2 hours of free time to wander through the native beech forest, stroll the sandy shores, and snap unforgettable photos on the Foreshore Loop Track. For a higher vantage point, take a short climb to the Lookout Track, where you’ll be rewarded with epic views of Mitre Peak, one of the most photographed mountains in the world.
Feeling peckish? Grab a coffee or light meal at Discover Milford Café, or bring a picnic and soak up the serene scenery by the water’s edge.
Fly:
The adventure continues on your return flight to Queenstown. Your pilot will follow a different scenic route, showcasing more of Fiordland’s hidden gems. Keep your camera ready for aerial views of Lake Quill, the incredible Sutherland Falls — one of New Zealand’s highest waterfalls — and countless secret alpine lakes scattered through the landscape.
This round-trip Milford Sound Scenic Flight offers one of the most efficient and visually stunning ways to experience Fiordland’s grandeur without the long, winding road trip.
