What you can expect

Experience Doubtful Sound on a private helicopter flight from Queenstown with Glacier Southern Lakes Helicopters. This exclusive 3.5 hour charter takes you deep into the Fiordland National Park to explore the second largest sound in New Zealand. Included in your Doubtful Experience are 2 alpine landings and a delicious gourmet lunch, perfect for special occasions or an unforgettable day out with friends or family.

Glacier Southern Lakes Helicopters operate charter flights from the luxury of a modern and spacious Squirrel helicopter, seating up to 6 passengers. Departing from Queenstown, your premium Doubtful Experience begins with a breathtaking flight across the Southern Alps towards the Fiordland National Park. Along the way, your expert pilot provides interesting commentary on the landscape from Queenstown to Doubtful Sound. Soar over the Iris Burn valley, part of the famous Kepler Track Great Walk, and alpine Wilmot Pass before your first helicopter landing.

After an initial glimpse of Doubtful Sound, your pilot touches down the helicopter at a secluded location high above the fiord. Here is your chance to fully take in the size and scale of Doubtful Sound, ten times larger than the famous Milford Sound, and capture some unique photos. Your second alpine landing is just a helicopter ride away, where the pilot turns off the engine and you can settle in surrounded by New Zealand high country for a gourmet picnic lunch, provided by Glacier Southern Lakes Helicopters. This exclusive charter helicopter flight from Queenstown to Doubtful Sound is a one of a kind experience that is bound to take your breath away.
