Scenic Flight & Milford Sound Landing from Queenstown

A scenic flight from Queenstown to Milford Sound with Air Milford is the most spectacular way to experience this majestic New Zealand fiord, and with a 2 hour landing on the shoreline, you can get to know this area of natural beauty even more. Milford Sound is well known for its cascading waterfalls, towering cliffs and the picturesque Mitre Peak, all of which are best explored on a Milford Flight & Landing with Air Milford.

Air Milford specialise in superb scenic flights over the outstanding scenery of Queenstown and Milford Sound in the South Island of New Zealand. Enjoy uninterrupted views onboard an Air Milford high wing Cessna aircraft, which are renowned for their comfort, safety and quiet engine. 

From Queenstown, it’s a 35 minute flight to Milford Sound over highlights such as Skipper Canyon and Paradise, a well-known filming location near Glenorchy for The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit movies. As you soar over the snow capped mountains and glaciers of Fiordland National Park, you will soon reach Milford Sound for a breathtaking overflight.

Your Air Milford pilot flies the length of Milford Sound for incredible views of Mitre Peak, Stirling Falls and the mouth of the fiord. After making the most of the photo opportunities from above, your plane lands at the Milford Sound airstrip where you can spend time exploring the shoreline. You have 2 hours for a self-guided walk or perhaps a visit to the Discover Milford Cafe before your return flight to Queenstown.
