Excellent pick-up near our hotel. The staff were helpful and pleasant. The flight so close to the mountains is very impressive and quite frightening. The boat trip up the fjord was very good, but it wasn't the one I had chosen (I got a large boat from another company when I had booked a small boat from Mitre Peak). The experience was still fantastic, though.

Clear communication re pick up. Efficient organisation pre flight organisation. Pilot interaction excellent. His calm demeanour inspired complete confidence, along with constant communication. Close up views of mountains were simply breathraking. Skilled flying through Sound gave us clear views of the stunning scenery. Highly recommend this flight.

One of the most amazing experiences!! My husband and I were on our honeymoon and wanted to do something adventurous but also not take up the full day. The fly cruise fly was the perfect ~4 hour excursion to see the milford sound, and all of queenstown. Our pilot Ryan was so kind and a fantastic pilot. The flight time was about 40 minutes there, then a scenic ~1.5 hour cruise through the Milford Sound followed by a 40 minute flight back. We had beautiful weather. Would recommend wearing a light coat and sunglasses :)

Getting started

Check in at the designated Queenstown departure point, where your team will confirm your booking and outline the day’s itinerary. After a short safety briefing, you’ll board your aircraft or coach, ready for your journey into Fiordland.

What to expect

Known as the “eighth wonder of the world,” Milford Sound is a glacier-carved fjord in Fiordland National Park, celebrated for its towering peaks and cascading waterfalls. This remote natural icon is a highlight of New Zealand’s South Island, drawing visitors for its pristine wilderness and unique wildlife.

Features

Scenic flight: Soar above the Southern Alps and Fiordland’s rugged valleys, with panoramic views of Lake Wakatipu, snow-capped peaks, and the Tasman Sea.

Small boat cruise: Glide along Milford Sound’s deep waters on a small vessel, allowing close-up views of sheer cliffs, Stirling and Bowen Falls, and possible sightings of fur seals or dolphins.

Live commentary: Enjoy insightful narration from your crew, sharing local stories and geological facts as you cruise the fjord.

Tea and coffee on board: Relax with complimentary refreshments while you take in the scenery from the boat’s viewing decks.

Small group experience: Travel in a more intimate setting, ensuring personal attention and ample space for photos and questions.

Coach transfer (if selected): Experience the scenic drive through Fiordland National Park, passing through lush rainforest and the Homer Tunnel before reaching the sound.

All taxes and fees are included, making your day trip smooth from start to finish.
