Milford Sound Scenic Flight Over Fiordland Queenstown
Experience one of New Zealand’s most awe-inspiring natural wonders from the air with this Milford Sound Scenic Flight — an epic journey over Fiordland National Park and the Southern Alps.
Departing from Queenstown, your adventure begins as you climb above the rugged backcountry of Central Otago, following the shimmering, glacier-fed rivers flowing into Lake Whakatipu. As the aircraft crosses into the UNESCO-listed Fiordland National Park, you’ll be treated to a visual feast of alpine scenery, ancient beech forests, and dramatic mountain landscapes.
Unforgettable Aerial Views
This flight delivers jaw-dropping views of the Southern Alps, deep glacial valleys, cascading waterfalls, and lush mosses and ferns clinging to towering rock walls. Trace the route of the world-famous Milford Track, soar above Lake Ada, and witness the mighty Mitre Peak rising dramatically from the fiord.
Marvel at the untouched wilderness of Piopiotahi (Milford Sound) as it stretches out below you. See the iconic Stirling Falls and Bowen Falls from the air, with the Tasman Sea glimmering in the distance.
Guaranteed Window Seats & Expert Commentary
Every guest is guaranteed a window seat, ensuring unobstructed panoramic views throughout the flight. Your experienced local pilot will provide live, insightful commentary about the landmarks and legends of this wild, remote region.
Return to Queenstown
The return flight follows a different scenic route, offering fresh perspectives on the soaring peaks, braided rivers, and alpine lakes of this rugged landscape. Touch down at Queenstown Airport — itself one of the world’s most stunning landing locations.
