From Queenstown: Glenorchy Air Milford Sound Scenic Flight & Cruise

Fly over the mountains and glaciers
of the Southern Alps

Check in at the Glenorchy Air desk in the Queenstown Airport terminal and board the fixed-wing aircraft. Every seat is a window seat, so everyone can enjoy the scenery while listening to commentary from a knowledgeable local pilot.

Fly over Coronet Peak ski area, Skippers Canyon and the Shotover River, look down on sparkling Lake Wakatipu and follow the Dart Valley into UNESCO World Heritage–listed Mount Aspiring National Park.

Cross the Olivine Ice Plateau and Mount Tutoko to land at Milford Sound

Fly over snow-capped peaks, the Olivine Ice Plateau, Mount Tutoko and the Tutoko Glacier, and take in Fiordland National Park, the rugged West Coast and the Tasman Sea. Then descend to land at Milford Sound, where Mitre Peak rises 1,692 m above sea level.

Walk the forest and cruise the fiord

At Milford Sound, take a guided walk through the beech forest and a 1-hour 45-minute nature cruise. Admire the dramatic cliffs and Stirling Falls, and look for seal colonies, penguins and dolphins from the outdoor viewing deck. Tea, coffee and water are provided on the cruise.

After the cruise, meet your pilot again and fly back to Queenstown on a different route across the World Heritage area.

※ Wildlife such as seals, penguins and dolphins lives in the wild, so sightings cannot be guaranteed.
