Located in the remote southwest of the South Island, Milford Sound is world renowned for its towering Mitre Peak, lush rainforests and dramatic waterfalls like Stirling & Bowen Falls. The flight to Miford Sound will take you over 100 glaciers & 2 pristine National Parks for the true flight of a lifetime. It is definitely a bucket-list flight & is not one to be missed. 

Departing from Wanaka Airport, your adventure begins with breathtaking  aerial views of Lake Wanaka and the surrounding township. Your experienced pilot will highlight key points of interest, offering fascinating insights as you soar over the Southern Alps.  The journey continues  over Mount Aspiring National Park – a majestic landscape carved by  glaciers, cascading waterfalls, braided rivers and vast stretches of lush native beech forest. You’ll glide past the icy expanse of the Olivine Ice Plateau before following the rugged West Coast toward Fiordland National Park — home to Milford Sound. As you enter the fiord, take in dramatic views of the sheer cliffs and thundering waterfalls before touching down at the Milford Sound airstrip where you will embark on your cruise – with chances to spot dolphins, seals and other marine life. 

Following the cruise, your return flight takes a different route, offering even more awe-inspiring views — including Lake Quill, Sutherland Falls, and the shimmering expanse of Lake Wakatipu.
