Great experience. The views were incredible.

What you can expect

Experience Milford Sound from the sky and the water with a Milford Sound Fly Cruise Fly package from Glenorchy Air, departing from Queenstown. Take a scenic flight from Queenstown with informative commentary from your local Glenorchy Air pilot and board a cruise in Milford Sound to get up close and personal with waterfalls and wildlife.

Join your highly skilled Glenorchy Air pilot to depart from Queenstown Airport for a preferred flight route over Coronet Peak ski field, the Shotover River and Lake Wakatipu towards Milford Sound. Check out the stunning mountains and glaciers of Mt Aspiring National Park from a bird’s eye view on this remarkable scenic flight with Glenorchy Air. When you arrive at Milford Sound, marvel at the breathtaking scenery while your Glenorchy Air pilots guide you from Milford Sound Airport to the cruise terminal. 

For the cruise section of your Glenorchy Air Milford Sound Fly Cruise Fly tour, start by boarding your cruise and enjoying a complimentary tea, coffee or water. Your Milford Sound cruise takes you on a 1 hour 45 minute tour of the Fiord, with the opportunity to spot Fiordland wildlife from the open air deck and feel the spray from the famous Stirling Falls. Keep an eye out for Bottlenose Dolphins, fur seals and the rare Fiordland crested penguin, while learning about the history of Milford Sound from your friendly skipper.

For the last leg of your Milford Sound Fly Cruise Fly tour, meet your Glenorchy Air pilot at the cruise terminal to make your way back to Milford Sound Airport. Finish the day with a different flight route back to Queenstown, so you can take in more awe-inspiring views while reminiscing on your Milford Sound cruise. A Milford flight and cruise with Glenorchy Air is an unforgettable way to discover Milford Sound and a must-do while in Queenstown.

Fantastic way to view the trip from above, the glaciers and perched lakes and snow topped mountains and then landing into Milford Sound is just magical. Was perfect weather for the cruise and flight.

The people of Glenorchy Air did an amazing job. Superbly organized and attentive. Joseph, our pilot for the flight did an excellent job with his knowledge and great attitude.
