5.00It was great! Great views very close to all the mountains. The cruise was also nice. Everything was also very well organised. Transfer came at the exact time, check in was super quick, no long waits at airport or cruise terminal
Amazing day.

5.00A superb experience. Very professional from start to finish. One of the best experiences ever. I have taken so many photos and videos.
Fantastic scenery seen best from the air.

5.00It was outstanding. We had to wait for a clear weather window (so build flexibility into your schedule) but it was worth it. The pilots provided a great commentary and obviously knew the area well. We tagged on a Milford Sound cruise which only added to the experience. We were lucky to have some dolphins join us briefly too! Highly recommend.
Amazing Milford Sound flying experience.

5.00We had a fantastic day and the flights to and from Milford Sound were absolutely incredible. Jared was such a friendly pilot and guide during the flights. Very knowledgeable about the area and what we flew over. Swapped us around for the second flight so we had different views and perspectives. Highly recommend this tour!
Horrible company! They destroyed my vacation

1.00This company destroyed my whole vacation in New Zealand. I arranged all my flights, hotels and so on, based on this scenic flight from Queenstown to Milford Sound (which was the main attraction in New Zealand). They informed me 15 minutes before the scheduled flight that they cancelled the flight. I called them in order to arrange a flight for the next days and they told me that they are fully booked for many days and they refused to get us in one of their flights, giving no explanation. Don’t rely on this company! My advice is to go by car in Milford Sound, because we didn’t have the time to go and we haven’t seen this amazing spot.
Mountains, lakes and rivers

The best of Milford Sound and all the mountains on the way from Queenstown.

5.00All the reviews I read were 100% true. These guys are organised, friendly and experienced. My partner, Ian who is not keen on small aircraft didn't have a worry in the world and kept shaking his head in awe. True professionals who know how to get the whole experience right. A life affirming, incredible flight where we felt we could reach out and touch the icing sugar snow capped mountains on the way to the most stunning Milford Sound. I'm getting goose bumps just thinking about it. Thanks Andy for being the perfect host and pilot. Don't think about it for another minutes, JUST BOOK IT! You won't regret it. Oh, and keep an eye out on the way in and out because I also saw a pod of dolphins on the way out. Thankyou thankyou thankyou.
