Description

Milford Sound is New Zealand's top tourist destination. The sheer scale and beauty of the sound are best experienced from the air and by boat on a fly, cruise, fly trip or overflight.

Take a breathtaking scenic flight to Milford Sound from Queenstown with the Fly Cruise Fly package, including a 2 hour cruise on Milford Sound itself. Your True South Flights pilot will fly you from Queenstown over the Southern Alps with panoramic views of lakes, forested river valleys, waterfalls and snow covered peaks.

After landing in Milford Sound, you will board a boat for a leisurely cruise around the length of the sound. Keep your cameras close by, as you may be lucky enough to encounter seals, dolphins and penguins throughout the tour. After basking in the spectacular scenery of Milford Sound, you will head back to the fixed wing plane for a return flight to Queenstown - following a different flight path.

If you are restricted with time, check out the Milford Sound Overflight for a spectacular overview of Milford Sound & surrounds instead.

Picked up from our hotel on time and delivered to True South Flights.
Our pilot was Elliot and for first time small plane fliers, he made our experience most enjoyable. Pointing out everything of interest on our way.
The cruise was fun too and we saw seals, penguins and dolphins and many of the passengers got the chance to stand under the spray of a waterfall and get drenched.
The return flight and subsequent drop off at hotel was equally good.
Would definitely recommend.

Hi There

We arrive at 8.45am on Friday the 9th March and are being collected from central Queenstown at 1.45 pm the same day to do the rail trail . Is there anyway we could fit this in or would it be to risky with time?

Comments

Thank you for your question about the Milford Sound flight and cruise departing Queenstown. Due to the time restrictions, and also the possibility of delayed flights with weather changes we would not recommend booking a flight and cruise on the same day as your arrival / depature.
