From Milford Sound Fly-Cruise-Fly Ex Wanaka
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

Best experience ever!
‚Once in a lifetime‘-experience! Unbelievable trip, perfect service, best flight with breathtaking views. We always felt safe and well taken care of. Beautiful cruise, 2 hours were just perfect. It was worth every cent, we will never forget!

Unforgettable experience
Glad that the weather played to our favor after 2 days cancellation. Doug hit was smooth and awesome views and explanation from the pilot. Cruise was just as good and we had reserved seats for us though it will be good for the pilot to let us know cos we chanced upon it ourselves. Strongly recommend the fly-cruise-fly experience.

Coolest experience ever
It is definitely worth experiencing in life! We got to see the marvelous views from the sky high view. The flight was great and safe, only the return flight was bumping and made us a bit sickness. Thanks to our pilot Scott's introduction during the flight and the cruise ship is such an enjoyable experience! Except I lost my wallet during the flight, that's very unfortunate and sad especially it happened during a trip.

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，
