Flyve over de sydlige Alpers hoveddel og til Fiordlands nationalpark. En af de første seværdigheder, du vil støde på ved ankomst i Fiordland National Park er Mt Tutoko, på over 8,900 ft / 2.700 meter det er Fiordlands højeste peak. Der er to vigtigste gletschere at se her, Donne og alderen.
Fly hele fjordens fulde længde lige ud til Tasmanhavet, hvor du vil dreje og falde ned, før du kommer i land. Denne del af flyvningen gør dig virkelig i stand til at sætte pris på den store størrelse af fjorden, der stiger over en kilometer høj i nogle dele!

Oplev Milford Sounds overheadskønhed
Når dit krydstogt vender tilbage, vil din pilot møde dig og eskortere dig tilbage til lufthavnen. Hvis tiden tillader det, vil piloten tage dig på en kort buskvand gennem den indfødte bøgeskov. Flyvetiden tilbage til Queenstown er 35 minuets.
Efter landing i Milford Sound, vil din pilot eskortere dig til båddockene for at komme om bord på din Milford Sound Nature Cruise.
På dit krydstogt er tallene begrænset til 150 passagerer, og på denne intime oplevelse giver naturguider en personlig kommentar. Båden udforsker vinkler og krydsninger langs fjordens kant, nudger ind i rene stenflader for at undersøge flora og fauna i detaljer. Båden går gennem hele længden af fjorden lige ud til Tasmanhavet, så gæsterne kan slappe af og tage det fantastiske landskab.
Efter at have taget afsted i Milford Sound tager flyvevejen først en anden udsigt over fjorden, før man sporer sydpå ned Arthur-dalen. På toppen af denne dal kan man se Sutherland Falls, dette er New Zealands højeste vandfald, der falder imponerende 1.900ft / 580 meter til dalen etage nedenfor.

This was my fourth visit to Milford Sound and my first visit by air. Flying from Queenstown to Milford Sound was an amazing experience. The scenery during the flight was incredible , and flying through Milford Sound on approach provided a different perspective. I even commented upon landing that the cruise would be anticlimactic after the flight. It wasn’t. We were fortunate to see NZ Fur Seal feeding and a Fiordland Crested Penguin making its way from the sound to its nest. The flight back was even more spectacular, passing by Sutherland Falls, near Lake Te Anau, and over Lake Wakatipu. The best part: Avoiding the four-hour bus ride in each direction. I also need to mention how awesome Air Milford and Southern Discoveries were. Southern Discoveries did the cruise. The commentary was informative, and everyone demonstrated the Kiwi hospitality I expect in New Zealand (especially in the South Island). Air Milford is a top-notch organization; everyone was so friendly. Communication beforehand was easy, and you can tell their clients’ safety and satisfaction are their top priority. If you’re thinking about booking this experience, do it! A tip: The weather can’t be controlled, so plan to do the tour your first full day in Queenstown and be prepared to do it the next day or day after if you need to. I was fortunate that the tour was able to operate the day I booked.

Antony was our pilot and we had a wonderful experience. There was a lot of fog at the sound so wasn’t safe to land, but he added some flight time over glaciers and Cardrona. Great time! Highly recommend.
Amazing views, well worth the money. People are lovely that work there. You get some beautiful photos
Overall amazing experience! This was one of our favorite moments during our trip! This is a must if visiting Queenstown!
An absolutely amazing experience. The views of the mountains were unbelievable. The flight crew could not have been more friendly and accommodating. Milford Sound needs no introduction and there’s nothing I can say to top what everyone else has written.
Start to finish it was a fantastic and we’ll organise trip. The photos don’t represent the true beauty of this land. The pilot Alex was fantastic. I would highly recommend this company from the Pick Up to the drop-off I think was professional and well done. Made a seamless trip.
We were visiting New Zealand for a wedding and our hosts treated us to this tour. We had a great time. Our pilot kept us informed of what was going on and pointed out sights as we flew over the mountains. It was breaktakingly beautiful. The lunch was nice and the cruise was beautiful. The captain made the trip interesting and pointed out sights on the trip. He also took the time to position the boat for exceptional views of the waterfalls and seals. Highly recommended if you are in Queenstown.
Excellent service from start to finish- great day all round. The views from air and water were great and commentary provided by both Captains informative and excellent.
Best ever experience..excellent pilot Ben…amazing views and commentary..well worth it..then to top it off was the Milford sounds cruise..highly recommend
