5.00An absolutely amazing experience. The views of the mountains were unbelievable. The flight crew could not have been more friendly and accommodating. Milford Sound needs no introduction and there’s nothing I can say to top what everyone else has written.
Must do when in Queenstown

5.00Start to finish it was a fantastic and we’ll organise trip. The photos don’t represent the true beauty of this land. The pilot Alex was fantastic. I would highly recommend this company from the Pick Up to the drop-off I think was professional and well done. Made a seamless trip.
What a way to see Milford Sound!

5.00We were visiting New Zealand for a wedding and our hosts treated us to this tour. We had a great time. Our pilot kept us informed of what was going on and pointed out sights as we flew over the mountains. It was breaktakingly beautiful. The lunch was nice and the cruise was beautiful. The captain made the trip interesting and pointed out sights on the trip. He also took the time to position the boat for exceptional views of the waterfalls and seals. Highly recommended if you are in Queenstown.
A must do

5.00We had an exceptional experience on the Milford Sound Flight and Cruise. The team was highly professional and made sure we had a safe, exciting experience when facing some potential weather concerns. They rerouted our trip to the cruise, which actually allowed us 20+ more minutes of flight time each way (and the flight views are incredible). The cruise was also great - plenty of time to enjoy the area and its unique features. All in all, great value and we would highly recommend this tour for anyone traveling to Queenstown.
World Class Experience!

5.00This was one of the absolute highlights of our entire trip! The Milford Sound Fly-Cruise-Fly experience was exceptionally well organized from start to finish, with fantastic staff who made everything seamless and enjoyable. The pilots and planes were outstanding! professional, friendly, and clearly passionate about what they do. Safety is clearly their top priority, which gave us complete peace of mind while flying over such dramatic scenery. And the views? Simply breathtaking. Soaring over the mountains and fiords, then cruising through Milford Sound itself. it was an unforgettable way to experience one of New Zealand’s most beautiful destinations. Highly recommended!
Highly recomended!
