Milford Sound by sky - highly recommend!
One of the most incredible experiences we have had to date. Milford Sound is a once in a lifetime, highly recommend for anyone especially if you are short on time, a few hours and being able to take in the incredible views, two landings and commentary along the way is well worth the money. Thankyou!!

A must do in Queenstown
A truly excellent adventure. Our friendly and welcoming pilot, Geremy, was extremely knowledgeable and informative, making the trip even better. Landed us smoothly on the glacier, and even doubled as our champagne waiter! All of us enjoyed Milford Sound, the close up views of the mountains and glaciers, and the commentary. Also thanks to the ground crew for making our briefing, and transfers so seamless.

AMAZING TRAVEL!
I thought going into the helicopter would be scary and fast but it felt very safe. And the pilot was very kind. And the pilot gave me a lot of information. It was so fun and amazing!
