This Milford Sound Scenic Flight trip provides a spectacular overview of Milford Sound and endless panoramic views of lakes, forested river valleys, waterfalls, jagged razor-backed ridge lines and snow-covered peaks along the way. Ideal for those who can’t make it for the cruise, this Milford Sound flight is an unforgettable, once-in-a-lifetime experience.
Crossing the mountains at altitude from the Mount Aspiring National Park into the Fiordland National Park, we will soar above snow-capped mountains, glaciers and glacial rivers before descending into Milford Sound. Here, you will have close up views of Mitre Peak, glaciers and the Stirling and Lady Bowen Falls. Once you have taken in the panoramic views of the Sound, we will fly you back to Queenstown via one of New Zealand’s tallest waterfalls – the Sutherland Falls – and over more mountains to look down on the valleys and the road that makes its way from Te Anau via the Homer Tunnel to Milford Sound.
