Overview

Take your Fiordland adventure to the next level with a breathtaking helicopter flight and Milford Sound cruise. Depart from Queenstown and fly deep into the heart of the Southern Alps — where snow-capped peaks, alpine lakes, and cascading waterfalls await. Your experienced pilot will provide live commentary as you soar over ancient glaciers and hidden valleys.

After a scenic flight over Fiordland National Park, land on a remote alpine ridge to admire panoramic views and capture once-in-a-lifetime photos. From there, continue on to Milford Sound / Piopiotahi to board your cruise through the majestic fjord — where towering cliffs rise from deep, reflective waters and seals bask on rocky outcrops.

Enjoy a leisurely 2-hour Mitre Peak Cruise through this UNESCO World Heritage Site before reboarding your helicopter for the return flight to Queenstown. Lunch options can be pre-ordered, and hotel transfers are included for your convenience.
