Absolutely amazing! Breathtaking views! You have to park a short walk from the check-in area and where the boat departs - about a 5 minute leisurely walk. Check-in was easy and the staff were friendly. The boat was small and personal which is exactly what we wanted. Free tea and coffee on board which was a lovely surprise. We were able to get up close to the seals and got a fresh spray from the waterfall (maybe more than a spray ahaha). All in all excellent value for money, spectacular views and have full gratitude the weather was on our side for our party of 9 to appreciate this.

The crew on every part of this journey was insightful, funny and knowing. We have seen a lot of wildlife and experienced the soothing sounds of this place. On good weather you will see relaxing seals and maybe a hunting albatross. Unfortunately we only have seen a fin of a dolphin, but as always in the wilderness: It's up to luck. I short: fully worth it!

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.

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!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I joined the Milford Sound trip as a solo traveler, along with a small group of other people, and it turned out to be an unforgettable experience. Danny was an incredible guide from start to finish. The drive felt peaceful and surreal thanks to his thoughtfully chosen playlist — it honestly made me feel like I was in a completely different place. Danny’s storytelling and knowledge made the journey so engaging, and he shared interesting facts the entire way. One special highlight was when he pointed out a kea bird, something I would have completely missed on my own. I highly recommend this trip, especially if Danny is your guide. He made the journey to Milford Sound just as meaningful as the destination itself.
