Wonderful Closeup of Mountains around Milford Sound

5.00The flight from Milford Sound and across the surrounding mountains was georgous. Our female pilot flew smoothly and offered interesting commentary. The ground staff was also extra helpful. I'd love to do the flight again.

5.00My wife, two boys and I did the fly-cruise (Milford Sound) - fly tour package. End to end very well organized and worth every cent. Smooth check in, flights, and boat tour. All guides were super switched on and friendly. A big thanks to our pilot Annabelle who made our flight to and from the Sound enjoyable and educational. Smallest plane we have every flown in and felt like we were in very safe hands. Highly recommend this once in a life time package.

5.00My son and I did the coach, cruise, fly tour. Coach and cruise was with southern discoveries and the flight back in to queenstown was with Glenorchy Air. It was all MAGNIFICENT! I was a little hesitant to do the return flight but it was a highlight of my trip! Our pilot, Megan, was fabulous. I highly recommend the flight with Glenorchy Air!

Outstanding trip to Milford Sound

5.00Outstanding fly/cruise/fly trip to Milford Sound with Glenorchy Air. Supremely well organised from start to finish. We were picked up from our hotel by the lovely driver Ivan who transported us to the airfield and explained the check in process. After check in we were met by our Pilot Ben who took us through the itinerary of the day and the safety briefing. Safety was again explained as we got on the small aircraft and before take off. We were extremely lucky with the weather and flew down to Milford Sound with Ben explaining the numerous sights en route. On arrival at the Sound, we disembarked and were accompanied to the boat by Ben. The 90 minute cruise was, as expected, stunning. But additionally, lovely crew on board and a good selection of coffees, tea, savoury and sweet snacks/sandwiches etc to buy. These were of a very good quality. The Captain on the boat also provided a running commentary explaining the geology, sights, animal sightings etc. On return from the cruise we were met by Ben, accompanied back to the plane and returned to queenstown via a different route to allow us to see more sights. Ivan then took us back to the hotel. All in all a totally brilliant day
Exceptional Experience!

5.00This was an amazing trip. Our pilot, Annabelle, shared excellent information, helping us get the most out of the trip. We would definitely do this again; it was a highlight of visiting the South Island. Thanks, Glenorchy Air!
