Don’t waste a trip to New Zealand by ignoring the calls of the scenic Milford Sound. Known as one of the world’s top destinations, Milford Sound will not only complete your visit in New Zealand but will also make the experience a love you will forever cherish.

And when visiting a magnificent place such as Milford Sound, you must make sure that the experience is the best as it can be. There are a lot of flight options available to bring you to witness the ideal beauty of the sound. But, take note not to get just any ordinary flight there. Air Wakatipu offers amazing scenic flight options not only to bring you to Milford Sound but also to give you a flight that will treat your eyes and mind without a question.

Fly-Cruise-Fly

Did you know that there are a lot of great things to experience in Milford Sound? And a trip there will never be complete without you witnessing all the viewpoints of the destination. Hence, Air Wakatipu has come up with this kind of flight option to the Sound. The Air Wakatipu Milford Sound Fly-Cruise-Fly option includes the following:

• Flight from Queenstown to Milford Sound
• Cruise boat
• Courtesy transport
• Return flight from Milford Sound to Queenstown

With the flight to Milford Sound, you are guaranteed a window seat on the aircraft. The flight will be over the Southern Alps and great views of forested river valleys, waterfalls, lakes, snow-covered peaks, and ridge lines await you. Once in Milford, the team will take you to the shuttle bus to the cruise boat. Or, if time will still permit, a short walk through the bush will be ordered to the boat. Your cruise experience will truly be an unforgettable one as all your senses will be entertained until the very end of the trip as you’ll be given a chance to encounter the fjord closely while aboard the cruise boat.

Fly-Cruise-Fly-Heli

Experience the same outstanding flight to Milford Sound as the Fly-Cruise-Fly option but with an added magnificent experience. This involves a helicopter flight for 20 to 25 minutes from the aerodrome at Milford up above the fjord to the local glaciers for a close up look. If weather permits, the heli can land on the glacier for an even more stunning experience. This helicopter flight, in addition to the already amazing scenic flight and cruise experience, will be the icing of the cake to your visit in Milford Sound. The extra expense will be worth it for such more-than-complete experience and feel of the sound.

Milford Overflight

Even if you don’t have much time left for your New Zealand trip, there is still no excuse for you not to witness the breathtaking beauty of Milford Sound. Air Wakatipu offers a scenic flight option that will let you experience the magnificence of the sound.

The overflight will entail crossing the mountains from Mount Aspiring National Park to Fiordland National Park. The aircraft will descent into Milford Sound to give you a close up view of the mitre peak and Stirling Falls.

The return to Queenstown is still a magnificent treat to the eyes. The flight will let you witness New Zealand’s tallest waterfalls—the Sutherland Falls—from up above. All throughout the overflight, you can be guaranteed good views from the aircraft as all seats aboard are window seats.

Milford Landing

If the Milford Sound Overflight is not just enough for a quick experience of the Sound, the Milford Landing will give you just the same experience but with an added bonus! You get to experience a landing at Milford Sound and absorb all the beauty the scenery has to offer for 20 to 30 minutes. With a landing experience, you can enjoy the contrast of standing with high mountains towering above you from the same mountains and sceneries you have witnessed from up above a few minutes before.

During your stay, you can take a walk with the pilot through the bush along the boardwalk to the foreshore. Or, you can choose to relax in the small cafe. The landing will also be your chance to take amazing photos to capture the best moments and scenes in the background.

One Way

Milford Sound can be reached by land as well. However, the experience of the sound will never be a complete one without witnessing the staggering beauty of Milford from up above. So for people who have reached the destination by land and do not wish to miss the view of the sound from the air, this Air Wakatipu scenic flight option is a good deal. With a window seat reservation, you will experience and witness a different perspective of the sound as the aircraft will fly over the sound passing through breathtaking peaks, river valleys, lakes, and waterfalls all the way to Queenstown.
