About

Your Experience

Embark on a unique adventure that combines the thrill of a helicopter ride with the tranquillity of a Milford Sound cruise, all departing from Queenstown. This 4-hour experience immerses you in the spectacular landscapes of New Zealand’s South Island, offering a rare perspective both from above and at water level.

Getting Started

Your experience begins at Queenstown Airport, where friendly staff greet you for check-in. Your pilot-guide gives a thorough safety briefing and points out highlights of the upcoming route. Step into a comfortable Airbus helicopter and prepare for takeoff.

Helicopter Journey Over Fiordland

Take to the air for a spectacular flight above dramatic alpine valleys, crossing ancient rainforests, winding rivers and rugged peaks that mark this region as a UNESCO World Heritage area. Your pilot highlights the most striking features, such as native beech forests and valleys carved by centuries of glacial movement.

With large viewing windows and seating for six passengers, you enjoy unobstructed vistas and plenty of chances for capturing unforgettable photographs. Live commentary provides insights into the region’s geology, ecology and cultural significance.

Milford Sound Cruise Experience

Upon landing in Milford Sound, you transfer directly to a purpose-built catamaran for a 2-hour cruise. Glide gently across the fjord’s deep waters, beneath towering cliffs and beside waterfalls that cascade directly into the sea. Iconic Mitre Peak dominates the skyline — a picture-worthy moment from every angle. The vessel is equipped for comfort, providing complimentary tea and coffee, along with live onboard commentary to enhance your appreciation of the landscape and local wildlife, including seals and occasionally dolphins or penguins.

Exclusive Alpine Landing

The adventure continues as you return to the skies, following a slightly different route for variety. Your pilot selects an isolated alpine site in the Southern Alps for a glacier landing. Step out onto fresh snow for a short walk, soaking in pristine views and the rare silence of remote New Zealand wilderness — an outstanding photo opportunity.

Personalized, Small Group Tour

This experience is tailored for small groups, with up to six guests per flight. Your pilot’s dual role as guide ensures all your questions are answered, and every major highlight is pointed out along the way for a personal, informative touch. Minimal group sizes guarantee good visibility and plenty of space onboard.
