I would give this experience 6 stars if I could. The boat, scenery, restaurant, food, service, show were all better than expected. Put it at the top of your todo list.

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.
