Milford Sound Scenic Flight & Cruise from Queenstown
Highlights & inclusions
What you can expect
Experience Milford Sound from both the skies and the water. With a guaranteed window seat on your scenic flight, you’ll soar over the peaks of Mt Aspiring and Fiordland National Parks, flying past glaciers, alpine lakes, and cliffs before descending into the fiord. Touch down at Milford and step aboard a modern vessel for a two-hour cruise that brings you right into the heart of this World Heritage landscape. Along the way, the friendly crew will share stories of the region and point out wildlife like seals and dolphins.
The return flight takes you back to Queenstown along a different route, revealing even more views of Fiordland’s rugged wilderness. With hotel transfers included, this fly-cruise-fly experience is as seamless as it is spectacular. In just half a day, you’ll tick off one of New Zealand’s most iconic natural wonders, combining the thrill of flight with the magic of cruising through the Milford Sound.
