Brilliant trip so well organised. Good value, highly recommended.
What you can expect
Experience Milford Sound from the sky and water on a midday Fly Cruise Fly adventure with Air Milford. Departing Queenstown, enjoy a scenic fixed-wing flight over Skippers Canyon, Glenorchy, alpine peaks and Fiordland National Park before arriving in Milford Sound.
Once there, join a nature cruise through the fiord, travelling beneath towering cliffs, past waterfalls and iconic sights such as Mitre Peak and Stirling Falls. Keep watch for dolphins, fur seals and native birdlife as you explore Milford Sound up close, before flying back to Queenstown over more spectacular alpine scenery.
