The highlight of this scenic flight is the actual flyover of Milford Sound, where you will see the iconic Mitre Peak and Stirling Falls, just some of the iconic landmarks that make this place so special. After flying the length of the sound and out over the Tasman Sea, you will return to Queenstown via the Sutherland Falls.

A fantastic day with a group of friends! Pilot Hamish was excellent and provided lots of great information without going overboard. We were lucky to have a glorious sunny day, with fresh snow on all the peaks. Everything was run professionally and on-time, and was great value for money. Will definitely do this again.

Picked up from our hotel on time and delivered to True South Flights. Our pilot was Elliot and for first time small plane fliers, he made our experience most enjoyable. Pointing out everything of interest on our way. The cruise was fun too and we saw seals, penguins and dolphins and many of the passengers got the chance to stand under the spray of a waterfall and get drenched. The return flight and subsequent drop off at hotel was equally good. Would definitely recommend.
