Great service, absolutely beautiful scenery and we were blessed with a fine day with very blue skies. It was more expensive than the bus but worth it and saved several hours sitting on a bus. There and back before the bus crowds arrived at Milford Sound and before the wind came up. We saw a seal, penguins and had dolphins following us in the wake of the boat.
Incredible trip. Just...

Absolutely stunning! Plan to bring a battery pack for your cell phone photos as you will run out of juice after the first fly over! There are no charging ports around on boat or elsewhere. We were blessed with perfect weather and took so many breathtaking videos! Staff was excellent both on boat and plane. Can't say enough about how great this was all around.
The most epic experience of our lives.

The flight was absolutely magical. We took different routes there and back, so had different views. Unfortunately, the boat was so overcrowded that it was really difficult to see anything.
Unforgettable experience

Well worth taking this trip if you want to save time and have an awesome scenic flight in the meantime. Our pilot Jarred was very attentive, humorous and knowledgeable and made us feel at ease throughout our flight experience. Highly recommend :)

My Boyfriend and I honestly had the most amazing experience with Milford Sound Scenic Flights. It was a 10/10 for us from the beginning with the amazing customer service, to the incredible flight (never seen beauty like that) and to Steve our pilot, made the trip for us. The cruise was fantastic, and I would without a doubt recommend your company to my clients, friends and family. Thank you so very much for the best experience! :)
Amazing

This was our first NZ trip, there were four of us. This is a must do activity even if the cruise portion gets cancelled due to weather, which is what happened with us. Andy, our pilot, was wonderful, professional, and charming. We'll do this again when we return to Queenstown. Thank you for a great experience!
