Milford Sound Fly-Cruise-Fly Tour da Queenstown

A fantastic experience; a must do if you’re in Queenstown. I was fortunate enough to sit in the co-pilot seat on the flight to Milford Sound and take in the best views possible: the majestic snow covered mountains and the expert control of the aircraft in choppy conditions by pilot Michael (who was also a very knowledgeable tour guide). The cruise at Milford Sound was enjoyable and the return flight on a different path really rounded out a perfect day. This operator was easy to deal with and very professionally run. Highly recommended.

Amazing day. Seamless experience- from bus pickup to check in to flight to boat and back. Great narrative on the flight from Michael, who made my flight-nervous daughter feel safe throughout. As for the flight itself - a truly great way to do it - views were spectacular and using a different path back meant we got double what we expected. Cannot recommend enough - a life experience

The flight out to Milford Sound was something that’s now in my top 5. I landed in the co pilot seat and the view was amazing. Michael our pilot was first class. He handled the chop with expert control and confidence, was a terrific tour guide pointing out all the sights, and landed the plane like a boss. Would definitely do it again. Highly recommend it; but be prepared for a choppy ride around the mountains and coming in to land at Milford Sound. Rest assured, these pilots are well trained and experienced to handle the conditions. 100% confidence in them.

It's not often that traveling to and from the tour, is the highlight of the trip! We went as a family, 2x adults + 2x teens. Our flight with our pilot Josh was spectacular, the views were incredible, the updates from Josh on the way there and back on what was outside of our windows was spot on. The fact that you each have your own windows seat on the plane, was an unexpected bonus, ensuring some incredible photos. Ask for Josh's plane... while not the biggest of the fleet, it cruises at a speed which allows you to take more in, and get those few extra photos or memories. I highly recommend this trip to anyone considering going to Milford Sounds from Queenstown. The sounds cruise was amazing too, but the flights seal the deal. Book your trip today!

Our pilot Michael was very friendly and knowledgeable of the area and often pointed out things to see during our flight. We felt safe and secure with Michael even with some strong winds as we approached Milford Sound.

This was truly unexpected and quite a pleasant surprise for us. We had initially planned to visit Milford Sound during our trip, but unfortunately, our schedule only allowed for a single day in Queenstown. Given the limited time and the fact that we didn't want to spend our precious day inside a van on a long drive, we faced a bit of a dilemma. We knew Milford Sound was famous for its breathtaking scenery and iconic fjord landscape, but fitting it into our tight itinerary seemed challenging. Fortunately, Lena at Discover Queenstown came to our rescue. She was incredibly helpful and thoughtful throughout the process. When we explained our situation and our wish to experience the beauty of Milford Sound without sacrificing our comfort and time, she immediately shared some fantastic ideas with us. Lena suggested a day trip that would maximize our experience while minimizing the hours spent traveling in transportation. She took into account our preferences, the limited time we had, and the need to enjoy the scenery comfortably. Lena went above and beyond by handling all the arrangements. She booked our tour, ensuring that all logistics were taken care of smoothly. From pick-up times to included meals and guided commentary, she provided all the details we needed to feel well-prepared. Her thoroughness and attention to detail made us feel confident and excited about our upcoming excursion. Throughout the planning process, Lena was not only professional but also warm and personable. Her enthusiasm for her work and her genuine desire to make sure her clients have memorable experiences shone through in every interaction. She patiently answered all our questions, offered helpful suggestions, and reassured us about the trip's quality. On the day of the tour, everything went perfectly. The transportation was comfortable, punctual, and scenic in itself. As we traveled through the stunning landscapes towards Milford Sound, Lena’s recommendations made the journey even more enjoyable. She pointed out interesting sights along the way, shared fascinating facts about the region’s history and geology, and created an engaging atmosphere for everyone on board. Arriving at Milford Sound, we were awestruck by the sheer natural beauty surrounding us. The towering cliffs, cascading waterfalls, and pristine waters were even more magnificent than we had imagined. The cruise we took was incredibly smooth and relaxing, giving us ample time to soak in the scenery and take countless photos. It truly felt like a bucket-list experience come to life. Reflecting on the entire process and the trip itself, we couldn’t have been more grateful for Lena’s assistance. Her exceptional service transformed what could have been a stressful logistical challenge into a seamless and memorable adventure. Her dedication and expertise made a significant difference in our experience. We left Milford Sound with incredible memories, stunning photographs, and a deep appreciation for the natural beauty of New Zealand. The team at True South Flights was friendly, professional, and went above and beyond. Our pilot, Luke, was great as was our van driver, Sam (who picked us up at our hotel and returned us as well). To say that the sights and sounds were amazing undersells the experience.

Absolutely fabulous! Strongly recommend this experience to see Queenstown and the surrounding mountains by air!

There is only one way to see Milford Sound and this is it! Our pilot Luke was amazing.

Amazing experience all around. Great True South team at the office and a great pilot (Luke) provided a very enjoyable and seamless experience. That combined with a great cruise from Pure Milford provided one of the most memorable experiences.

Michael our pilot was fantastic. He ensured our flight was smooth and the views were next level. The whole experience with this company was amazing. I would strongly recommend his company if you want to experience Queenstown by air!
