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 :)

We had a fantastic young team consisting of a tour guide and bus driver. They told us a lot of interesting things, and their planning and organization were perfect.

The scenery was spectacular. Having someone else doing the driving and just kicking back and relaxing on the bus was great. The cruise was awesome, and overall, it was an absolutely fabulous day. I would definitely take the bus / cruise with PureMilford / Headout again. Thank you.

What a fantastic experience! We loved every moment but particularly: - swimming off the back of the boat (freezing but worth it) - the wonderful boat trip and presentation by Adam on the wildlife and nature - the delicious food!
