It was supposed to be 4...

It was supposed to be 4 hour tour, but was shortened by 3 hours because we couldn't land in Milford Sound, for the boat segment, due to wind. Understandable. However, the cost of the booking was $720.00 and they refunded us $95.00. So they charged us $624 (two people - $312 each) for a one hour plane ride. I wouldn't have booked this for that amount of money. Disappointed.

Phenomenal experience! Super convenient to fly from Wanaka. Pilot gave great explanations of geography to and from Milford Sound, and the scenery was spectacular, both in the air and on the boat through Milford Sound! Loved every minute of it!

Spectacular! From the minute you take off until the minute you return this is absolutely spectacular. Beautiful scenery all around both from the plane and the boat. Very well organised, our pilot Scott was brilliant, can’t recommend this trip enough.
