Scenic flight to Milford Sound including a cruise

Take off from Queenstown on our most popular flight, and fly above the rugged backcountry of Central Otago, before heading westward to where the glacial-fed rivers empty into Lake Whakatipu.

Witness what the power of nature has created over the years, as you journey over two remarkable National Parks; Mount Aspiring and the world heritage listed Fiordland National Park. On your journey enjoy the informative commentary from our knowledgeable pilots who will share with you the local points of interest.  

Upon landing at Milford Sound Airport you are welcomed to a view of Mitre Peak, standing tall at the head of the fiord. Surrounded by some of the most magnificent scenery in the world, you’ll board your Mitre Peak Cruises vessel and begin your voyage cruising the length of the 16km fiord out to the Tasman Sea.  

Complete your journey with a scenic flight over the Southern Alps back to Queenstown and be captivated by the breathtaking and awe-inspiring views that can only be experienced from the air.
