Great trip with Milford Sound Scenic Flights thanks to pilots Mike on the way there are Ryan on the way back for smooth flights. Incredible scenery, mountain and lake views, and fortunate to have really good weather. Great boat trip on the Pride of Milford, stayed in the top deck the entire trip, good commentary with closeup views of the waterfalls and the Stirling falls

We took the Milford Sound Scenic flight on Nov 22nd. Our pilot Luke did a wonderful job communicating with our group. The views were breathtaking. We were very happy with the decision to spend the extra money and fly to Milford Sound.
Absolutely incredible

Jake and Luke were easygoing and great on and off the plane. They make sure to take a picture of you at one point, so that you don't have to rely on selfies alone. The flight there has such gorgeous views of snow-capped mountains, forest trees, and rocky beaches. The cruise itself is awesome. I was lucky enough to see dolphins and penguins and even a seal. The waterfalls are just wonderful. And the captain of our boat is really eagle-eyed, so the boat will stop and give you the opportunity to see what a professional sees in terms of wildlife. I wouldn't have a seen one of the penguins without help from the captain's over-the-radio instructions. One of the most unmissable things I did in New Zealand.
Wonderful

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.
