5.00From start to finish , just a pleasure. Very professional. Made us feel like VIPs. I will never forget the flight over. Just so beautiful. The cruise was a nice small boat. We got priority boarding for fabulous views of the sound. Despite doing this every day, we really felt they were trying to give us the best possible experience. Thanks guys
Breathtaking half day

5.00What a great day, one of the most stunningly beautiful flights and cruise I have ever done I know there are others who offer this service but the team went above and beyond with their communication, FYI weather is fickle, over a few days and regular checking in we were given the green light to go, best day

5.00Best way to see Milford Sounds and the views on the way from the sky! This is definitely the way to go instead of riding in a bus all day.
Best day ever!

5.00The views were absolutely breathtaking. At first, I thought the flights might not be necessary, or only to save travel time, but they turned out to be the best way to truly appreciate the stunning landscape – braided rivers, sparkling lakes, and the endless expanse of snow-capped mountains. Milford Sound was equally spectacular, and we had an unforgettable time there. A truly remarkable and memorable experience.
Amazing!

5.00Highly recommend this tour! Not only because a 12-hr day with a long bus ride isn't appealing, but you get the see the landscape so much better by flying. The weather was starting to be disagreeable the day we traveled, but the pilots made sure everyone felt safe flying. Pictures don't do the fjords justice. It is really beautiful and well-worth the trip.
A must do!

5.00In my opinion this is the best bang for your buck to sightsee Milford sound, the flight is 35-40 minutes each way plus you get a cruise with food included. Other flights are maybe 30 minutes total from some sightseeing places without a cruise. The pilots here were very friendly and safe and knowledgeable so even if weather deteriorates or you hit turbulence I felt very safe. The only downside is weather is Milford sound is unpredictable so book this early on in your trip that way if you have to cancel you have other days to reschedule because you do NOT want to miss out on this. Can’t recommend them enough, thank you pilot Emma for an awesome time!
