Highlights

  • Travel with the highest rated tour operator in Queenstown!
  • Take a gorgeous scenic flight to Milford Sound
  • Explore by water with a 2 hour Milford Sound Cruise
  • Convenient transfers from Queenstown

Join us for the ultimate day-trip to New Zealand's unforgettable Milford Sound.

Experience for yourself the grandeur and stunning beauty of a place where mountains plunge steeply into a deep fiord teeming with rare wildlife.

You'll soon see why Milford Sound is one of the world's greatest destinations as you take in the scale of this natural wonder from both the air and sea.

The flight from Queenstown over the Southern Alps opens up endless panoramic views of a landscape forged by the greatest forces of nature, left unchanged by man.

Take it all in; rugged ridge-lines, snow-capped peaks, waterfalls cascading to lush valley floors covered with ancient forests, and divided by crystal clear streams.

On arrival in Milford Sound you will set off onboard a comfortable cruise vessel to begin an up-close exploration of the fiord from sea level.

Jagged cliffs, and hanging rainforest rises sharply up to snowy peaks hundreds of meters above you.

Expect to see seals and occasionally dolphins and penguins as you pass close to magnificent waterfalls and sheer granite cliffs, while your skipper provides you with a detailed and entertaining commentary of the region and its history.

vol reporté 4 fois

Vol et croisière à Milford Sound ont été reportés 4 fois et je suis repartie sans avoir pu voir Milford Sound.Sans doute que Air Wakatipu ne veut pas prendre de risques en cas de météo incertaine, mais se préparer chaque jour pour un vol finalement annulé, quelle déception !!! Par contre, le remboursement pour annulation de la part du prestataire a été immédiat.

From Milford Sound - Fly-Cruise-Fly - True South Flights

Hi Claude, Thanks for your review. I am very sorry that your flight was postponed 4 times and cancelled at the end due weather. We totally understand you were hugely disappointed that you couldn't fly to Milford Sound. However the safety is the first priority for us, and unfortunately we cannot fly if the weather is not good enough to operate safely. Hope you still had a nice time with your family in Queenstown. Regards, Lily

Une experience inoubliable

Je recommande à tout le monde d'opter pour le fly Cruise and fly. C'est une expérience unique des plus extraordinaire de la Nouvelle Zelande. De très belles prestations avec un shuttle de l'hôtel à l'aérodrome puis les explications du pilote. De plus il se charge de récupérer votre pass pour le bateau et le déjeuner est offert. La balade en bateau est sympa mais une fois qu'on a vécu l'expérience en avion plus rien n'est aussi beau que la vue de là haut ! Et le retour en avion est top. Certes le bus est moins cher mais le confort de l'avion est incomparable

Amazing flight

We had originally booked for midday but had a call suggesting we bring it forward to 8am due to the weather which was a great choice as we got to see the last of the sunrise over the mountains. The flight was by far the best part. After flying to Milford sound the cruise ended up being slightly underwhelming for us as there hadn’t been any rain that day so meant there weren’t as many waterfalls - was worth it purely for the flight. Our pilot Andrew was great!

Fantastic Flight

Three of us took this tour in late May. The staff member at the desk was wonderful, making our entire experience smooth and comfortable. Complimentary pick-up and drop-off from major city hotels are included. Our pilot, Lily, was very gentle, flew the aircraft with great care, and shared insightful commentary about the mountains from above. The cruise was on a large, busy vessel, but it was clean with decent food, offering a relaxing way to take in the epic views. It was fantastic. If the weather is on your side, I highly recommend it.
