Fantastischer Flug.

Tu es! Einzigartig. Kleine Gruppe. Klasse Pilot. Es wird nur bei gutem Wetter geflogen. Wir bekamen einen Ausweichtermin. Klasse.

Super!

Wir hatten einen wunderbaren Flug. Top! Anstatt mit einer größeren Maschine über die Berge Richtung Milford und wieder zurück zu fliegen, würde es eine Cessna und wir zwei (und unsere 11-monatige Tochter) waren die einzigen Passagiere und einer von uns flog vorne als Copilot. Top Ausblick, tolle Strecke mit einer Ehrenrunde über den Fjord, sicher, tolle Erklärungen, einfach schoen.

What an absolute awesome experience!!! From the time you get picked up to when you step off the plane back in Queenstown the service and interaction with the staff were professional. The commentary during the flight was informative as well as during the short walk to the boat departure at Milford Sound. The pilots knowledge was much appreciated and a bonus! Can highly recommend True South Flight, you will not be disappointed! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Breathtaking

I've booked the Milford Sound Scenic Flight for today. It was amazing from start to finish. I was even allowed to sit in the front next to our pilot Andrew, who was very nice and gave us a lot of information. The views were just breathtaking, beyond words. Thank you for this great experience, which I will never forget :) Absolutely worth it!
