After 3 previous attempts to do this trip the weather was absolutely stunning which made this trip especially the flying part so amazing, Well worth the money.
This is a totally awesome tour. The flights there and back give the most spectacular scenery, excellent photo opportunities and the pilot tells you what you are flying over. The actual Milford Sound cruise is really good. Free tea, coffee or water throughout the entire cruise, other refreshments available to be purchased. Again stunning scenery and waterfalls.
