Amazing! One of the best experiences of my life and the highlight of my time on the South Island. So much fun. The beauty of Milford sound and the whole Queenstown region is indescribably beautiful. The team at Milford Sound Flights were fantastic! Very professional and made the trip very memorable. A big shout out to captain Johan!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Milford Sound Scenic Flight & Cruise – Exceptional Experience My husband Allan and I booked the Milford Sound Scenic Flight & Cruise for our 40th Wedding Anniversary, and it became the highlight of our Queenstown trip. The team at Milford Sound Scenic Flights were welcoming, professional, and incredibly accommodating. Their kindness made our anniversary feel truly special. A heartfelt thank you to our pilot, Hamish Brown, who went above and beyond to ensure we had an unforgettable experience. The flight was breathtaking, the cruise spectacular, and the service outstanding. Highly recommended.
Amazing Awesome views flying over the snow capped mountains from Queenstown into Milford Sound. The cruise was equally impressive such a special part of the world. Definitely would recommend this trip it’s way better than driving all the way there.
Surprised, I thought I booked directly with Mitre Flights. Headout was easy to work with via AI. Helped with a changing dates and changing 1 person on the ticket.
Magnificent trip to the other side of the world
We originally booked the "take a bus to Milford" trip, but were convinced by fellow travelers to switch to the plane ride, and oh my, was that good advice. Not only is it faster, but flying through the mountains is an amazing experience. My wife and I are both private pilots, so it was even more enjoyable for us. I was convinced that would be the highlight of the trip, until we reached the Sound. Taking a boat through the Sound, seeing the sheer volcanic cliffs dropping into the water, glimpsing the vast Pacific to the west, and then getting to fly home again was a day we won't soon forget.
It was the second time I took scenic flights to Milford Sound from Queenstown. The flight was stable and safe and the view was breathtaking. Tge pilots were very friendly and helpful. The overall experience was super!
Have done Milford sound a number of times this was definitely the easiest. A great view from the plane as well.
From pick up to drop off the whole experience was professional . Breathtaking scenery throughout the whole experience with detailed commentary.
I can’t say enough good things. The process was easy and the staff was friendly. Our pilot was very nice and friendly as well. The flight not only saves time but it is incredible to sight see on the way to the boat.
