Turmuligheder
Rejseplan
Begynd din oplevelse med en grundig forudgående flyve briefing med dine piloter på de seværdigheder, der skal ses under 1-timers Scenic-flyvning.
Efter start, se Coronet Peak, en af New Zealands præmiere ski felter.
Flyve over Shotover-floden og Skippers-canyon, det er her, hvor guld blev opdaget i 1860'erne. Denne flod blev verdens 2. højeste guldbærende flod i verden, ved siden af Klondike i Alaska.
Hoved nord ud af Wakatipu-bassinet og ind i Mt Aspiring National Park, med de større bjerge og gletschere, der kommer frem som du sporer nordpå.
View Mount Aspiring, ofte kendt som Matterhorn i syd, ligger på 10.000ft / 3.030metre og har seks relaterede gletsjere, den største er Upper Volta-gletscheren.
Begynd at køre mod vest, over den sydlige alpers hoveddel og til nationalparken Fiordland, før du forlader Mt Aspiring National Park, flyve ned 'gletsjergaden' med Olivine Ice Plateau, et unikt glacial amfiteater. 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 for at se her Donne og alderen.
Din sceniske flyvning vil så tage dig af en overhead af Milford Sound selv. Milford Sound er Fiordlands nordligste 14 fjords, og det er også mest dramatiske.
Oplev skønheden i Milford Sound
Se den højeste top i Milford Sound, Mitre Peak. Det stiger imponerende direkte ud af vandet i fjorden, til det er topmødet på 5.560ft / 1.690 meter, hvilket er lidt over en kilometer med lodret gevinst!
Flyvevejen begynder derefter at spore øst over sydlige alper og tilbage mod Queenstown. New Zealands næststørste sø, Te Anau-søen, kan ses ud til syd.
Efter endnu en gang at krydse de sydlige alters hovedafdeling, går ruten gennem bøgeskoven fyldt Greenstone-dalen, før den kommer op over Lake Wakatipu. Lake Wakatipu er New Zealands længste sø, med Queenstown beliggende på dens bredder.
Se det bemærkelsesværdige bjergkæde og Queenstown, før du lander tilbage på Air Milford base for din afrejse tilbage til din bolig ca. kl.
Efter at have forladt Milford Sound sporer flyvevejen syd, ned ad Arthur-dalen. På toppen af denne dal kan man se Sutherland Falls, dette er New Zealands højeste vandfald, der falder imponerende 1.900 ft / 580 meter til dalen etage nedenfor.

The views of the mountains were awesome, the pilot was friendly and provided a great flight. The office staff were helpful and friendly.
Kia ora, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us! We're delighted to hear you enjoyed exploring our beautiful backyard, and that your pilot helped make the flight even more memorable with their commentary and service. It's also wonderful to know our office team made you feel welcome and looked after throughout your experience. We truly appreciate your kind words and hope to welcome you back to fly with us again in the future! Best wishes, Air Milford
After several postponements due to weather (fortunately we were in town for several days), with staff staying in contact and keeping us up to date (thanks so much!), we finally got our flight. And what a flight. Pilot Antony was great, very friendly, explained everything quickly and simply, and took us on such a good flight. Due to small group (just four of us), we got the Cessna 206, so got live interactive commentary. Weather in our favour so we could see for miles, got to see everything and more. Highly recommend.
Highly recommend to anyone that is looking for a thrill and what an experience. Staff are super friendly right from the start till we landed back at the base. Definitely will be doing this AMAZING 👏 EXPERIENCE
Just returned home after a one and a half scenic flight. I thought it would good but wasn't prepared for how incredible it was. We had Hank the owner as our pilot and I was his co-pilot, he explained what everything was. The vision of Milford Sound brought tears to my eyes. My partner Sean was a bit apprehensive but he loved it to. And they pick you up if you are in Queenstown. Highly recommend 👌
Unreal views of the mountains and fjords. We got lucky with very good weather so it was a nice smooth ride with good viewing
Given the hefty price tag for airplane or helicopter rides, we dithered about booking this one but decided to take it as a ‘Birthday Gift’… and are glad we did so! The views from up high are so different from those below and the route taken by the pilot covered a geography not possible from a car. The hour long flight was of just the right duration. We each had good seats but I wonder if the people sitting in the middle of a row of three had a good view.
Anthony was a great guide providing all the info needed and equally a fantastic pilot.
We booked the Glacier Tour and it was amazing. Definitely worth the investment. Thanks to the whole team!
Outstanding - worth every penny.
The whole expirience was stunning. The personal was very friendly. The booking was easy. And the flight over the southern alps was one of the most scenic things I did in my 5 weeks in New Zealand.
