5.00This was a smooth flight with one of the most beautiful views I’ve seen. Our pilot was very friendly and provided valuable information about the sights throughout this scenic flight. It was worth the price we paid.
Incredible experience

5.00Amazing experience of a lifetime! Incredible views the whole way and very smooth ride. It was a small plane so everyone had a window seat and the pilot Dan did a great job. He helped make it a very memorable experience and had good commentary along the way. We went as a surprise for my girlfriend’s 30th birthday and he offered to take pictures of us in front of the plane as soon as we got to it and asked if one of us wants to sit up front.
Fun and scenic

5.00It was $1,100 NZD for two people leaving Milford Sound and heading to Queenstown. Our pilot Josh was funny, there was another pilot travelling on the flight with us (he’s the one that drove us to our hotel afterwards). Both were nice and entertaining, the scenery was gorgeous and there was some additional commentary from the pilot. Saw a lord of the rings filming location so that was a bonus. Overall it was a fun and spontaneous experience for us. There was a little bit of turbulence due to wind but the pilot and aircraft handled it well. About 45 minutes overall and then we were dropped off back at our hotel afterwards which was cool.

5.00Amazing experience coming back via chartered plane from Milford sound to Queenstown. The landscape is just Outta this world and the views are mesmerizing. Micheal the pilot was awesome as he explained all major sights during the flight and was ever so patient with pictures and explained all security procedures nicely. A must do!

5.00Had an amazing flight back from Milford Sound with Josh, we initially didn't plan to fly back and spend the extra $ but it was so worth it! Craig referred us on our RealNz bus tour which was also amazing!

5.00Our flight from Milford Sound back to Queenstown was absolutely incredible and easily one of the highlights of our trip! Luke, our pilot, was amazing! He so professional, personable, and incredibly knowledgeable, which made us feel completely at ease the whole time. The flight itself was unreal! About 45 minutes, super smooth, comfortable, and honestly so much fun. There was only 6 of us on the plane. The views were absolutely breathtaking the entire way, and it’s such a unique way to experience the landscape. We couldn’t stop smiling the whole time! Would 100% recommend this experience, it’s an absolute must-do!

Flight to Milford Sounds in a small plane

5.00Booked just one day before with George from Happy Travel, I was picked up punctually the next morning at the agreed meeting point. 15 min later we were at Tru South's office where I could check in. 15 min later we were told it had clouds and the start was postponed around that. This happened twice more and 1 h 15 min later it really started. In the small plane with 11 seats, everyone had a seat at the window. Michael flew us safely and with incredible views over the mountains to the fjord of Milford Sound. He gave exciting hints and pointed and various things. It was a beautiful flight on which I couldn’t get out of the astonishment. Not on foot as advertised, but by bus, we drove to the ship terminal and there the ship could already be boarded. It was not a small ship as advertised, but a big one in my view. But we also delayed the time and thus had a promising flight. With Southern Discoveries we went to Milford Sound. There were good descriptions on the ship and the captain drove very safely. But after the fantastic flight, this could not top the boat trip. There was a cafe and toilets on the ship. After 2 h on the water we went again by bus to the nearby airfield. Michael flew us safely and on another promising route back to Queenstown. It was awesome! The bus then dropped me off at the town centre so I could enjoy the afternoon in the town. It was a great trip with True South and I can only recommend this one! The cost is definitely worth it! Many thanks to the whole team at True South
