5.00We did just the flight, and not the cruise. We took the 2 hours to walk around the area and relax with a coffee at the Cafe. Our pilot, Anthony(?) was very friendly, and gave some fun and informative commentary both during our flights and when we met him at the Cafe. The plane was very, very cool! It had just snowed the night before, so the scenery was even my spectacular. The whole team was very friendly and efficient. This truly is a must-do activity in when you're in Queenstown, and Air Milford is definitely the way to do it!
Awesome from the air!

5.00This felt extravagant during the planning but I’m here to tell you it is worth the money. Do it when you first arrive as weather is a big issue. We were able to fly in as scheduled but a front moved in quickly and we had to skip our cruise which was sad but better safe than sorry. So wonderful from the air. A great 1/2 day!
