Even though some cloudy weather almost prevented this from happening, the folks at Air Milford called us back and were able to squeeze us on to that afternoon's flight. The pickup from our airbnb was seamless and the flight with Antony was INCREDIBLE! We felt extremely safe in his care (he once flew that same plane from Greece to NZ!) and he was also a great tour guide, pointing out all the sites, on each side of the plane, on the way! We were truly there in 35 minutes (no brainer compared to a 4-6 hour bus ride) and they shuttled us to/from the ferry with no problem. Seeing the Sound from above and getting so close to the glorious glaciers made this easily one of the best experiences of our trip to NZ. Definitely worth every penny.
Flying is the way to go!

Milford Sound is worth the trip! The weather was great for the flight. Seeing the mountains and land from above is wonderful. The cruise out Milford Sound is very nice. I’d love to see it again in different seasons.
Inspiring & Beautiful Tour!

Wow, I have no words for the Air Milford tour. It was absolutely incredible, far exceeded my expectations and was hands down the highlight of my first trip to Queenstown. There was a lot of helpful communication from the team before the flight and I felt very safe and taken care of during the flight and cruise. I did this excursion alone and while I was a bit nervous going into it, the captain, Antony, took great care of me and the rest of the group. There was helpful information given about the various landscapes, all questions and concerns were covered and we had a lot of fun exploring and checking out the plane. I would highly recommend this excursion to anyone and will absolutely be sharing the company’s information with my friends and family when they plan their trips to Queenstown. Thank you so much for a once in a lifetime experience!
