The team from True South Flights were excellent with communication, explaining the day and our pilot Tanmay was absolutely superb with his flying skills and knowledge on and off the ground We would thoroughly recommend booking this experience with this company!

My most memorable trip to Milford Sound

5.00We ended up booking this last minute and I'm so glad we did! I'm in Queenstown pretty much every year and this was my third visit to Milford Sound, but by far the most memorable one because of the most stunning views on the Cessna. Sam, who picked us up was really sweet and I had a great chat with Emma - who was super friendly; however, I'd like to specifically shout out Andrew - congenial, experienced, knowledgeable, and by far one of the best pilots I've had the pleasure of interacting with. His self-confidence and skill put all of us at ease and we couldn't help but enjoy the trip without any apprehension: barely had any turbulence and smooth landings both ways. I'd 1000/10 recommend these guys if you ever want to do this trip.
Exceptional in every way!

5.00This was an incredible trip! Exceptionally well organised and a trip of a lifetime. The flight each way was spectacular, and we flew a different way on the return flight for new scenery. The cruise was incredible and we were lucky enough to have perfect weather and a visit from the local dolphins. Highly recommend this trip!

5.00Absolutely incredible experience from start to finish! The flight into Milford Sound was breathtaking, with stunning views of snow-capped mountains, waterfalls and scenery that looked straight out of a postcard. The cruise was fantastic and the fly-cruise-fly option was the perfect way to see as much of Fiordland as possible. A special shout out to our pilot Luke, who was amazing. He was friendly, professional, knowledgeable and made the whole experience feel relaxed and enjoyable. His commentary throughout the flight was excellent and really added to the trip. If you’re visiting Queenstown, this is a must-do experience. Worth every cent and a memory we’ll never forget! 🚁🏔️✨
Fantastic experience from start to finish!
