Know before you book

    • Children 1 and younger are complimentary provided they sit on a parent's lap.
    • You must be 18 years of age and present a valid photo ID in order to consume alcohol.
    • Roundtrip transportation is available from most centrally located Queenstown hotels. Please arrange pickup from your hotel or a nearby location when you call to confirm your reservation.
    • Because of the weather dependent nature of flying over the Southern Alps to Milford Sound, we recommend booking in for your first available day in Queenstown. So that, should the weather be unfavorable for flying on the first day, you will have flexibility to roll on to a following fine weather day.
    • If you weigh 264 pounds (120 kg) or more, you must notify the tour operator in advance.
    • If you are prone to motion sickness, please take any necessary precautions. Consult a medical professional before taking any medication.

What you can expect

  • Experience Milford Sound by air and water on Air Milford's signature Fly Cruise Fly experience, combining two spectacular scenic flights with a 1 hour 45 minute Nature Cruise.

    Your experience begins in Queenstown with a personal pre-flight briefing from your pilot before boarding a modern Cessna Caravan. Within minutes, you're soaring above Skippers Canyon, the Paradise region, Tutoko Glacier and the untouched wilderness of Fiordland National Park, while your pilot shares the stories behind the landscapes unfolding below.

    The flight follows the full length of Milford Sound before landing beneath the towering Mitre Peak, rising 1,692 metres (5,551 feet) straight from the water's edge.

    Next, step aboard Southern Discoveries' small boat Nature Cruise, where reserved seating for Air Milford guests gives you the perfect base to explore the fiord. Cruise past towering waterfalls, ancient rainforest and dramatic cliffs while keeping watch for New Zealand fur seals, dolphins and, if you're lucky, the rare Fiordland crested penguin.

    When it's time to head home, you'll fly a different scenic route back to Queenstown, revealing hidden alpine lakes, remote valleys and the spectacular Sutherland Falls, so no two flights are ever the same.

    Family-owned since 1993, Air Milford is the only Queenstown Milford Sound flight operator with a flawless safety record. As New Zealand's only flightseeing company with three generations of pilots in the family, two generations of aircraft engineers and husband-and-wife directors actively working in the business, every flight is backed by decades of genuine local aviation expertise.
