Simply breath taking highly recommended!

Amazing experience highly recommended if you have the extra cash! Great commentary from the pilot as well and great service! Cruise was fantastic too but the flight is just stunning.

Wow - what awesome photos! Thanks so much for sharing & for taking the time to review your trip. Our pilots know this region so well & love sharing their knowledge with the likes of yourself. Thanks again! Safe travels from the team at Southern Alps Air.

Amazing trip!

I would thoroughly recommend this trip, it was the highlight of my holiday to New Zealand. The view from the plane was incredible and then getting to see Milford Sound from a different aspect on the cruise was fantastic. The pilot was great at informing us of what we could see and interesting facts about the area.

That’s alright

Absolute no brainer. You save time in not driving all the way down to Milford and get the flight experience which was as good as if not better than the cruise itself. Pilot really friendly and with interesting information on the various glaciers and peaks that you pass on the way.

Thank you so much for taking the time to review the Milford Sound Glacier Flight and Cruise that we were lucky enough to have the opportunity to share with you. Your timing was perfect, it was an absolutely stunning day to fly from Wanaka to Milford Sound - it doesn't come any better than that. Definitely 3rd time lucky!
