Beautiful trip

在飛機上看見壯闊的風景,來回看的風景不同,坐的船不大但是能很靠近瀑布,是個只花半天就能好好欣賞峽灣與紐西蘭高山的好方式,

Thank you so much for taking the time to review your Milford Sound Glacier Flight and Cruise. We are delighted that you enjoyed it so much and that you were able to save a lot of time by taking the flight instead of the 10 hour return road trip from Wanaka. There is so much out there to see that you couldn't imagine what it is like until you have had a look from the air. I hope you enjoyed your visit to our beautiful Wanak as well and had a great time throughout your stay in NZ. Thank you for flying with Southern Alps Air - safe travels. Kind regards Anne Owner/Operator SAA

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.

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.
