What travellers are saying
- Amanda MGold Coast, Australia18 contributionsSo glad we were able to return to Queenstown and enjoy our flight with True South to Milford Sound for our 30th wedding anniversary that was cancelled last year due to bad weather. Can highly recommend this company, entire team are so helpful and professional. We were so lucky with the weather this time, a few early morning clouds then a clear sunny day, the flight there & back with Tanmay was smooth and faultless. The transition from flight to cruise is well arranged, well worth the money for the amazing experience and views you cannot see from the road.Written 25 March 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Seaside382605544831 contributionI had an absolutely wonderful time flying to the Milford Sound. The views were stunning and breathtaking and the experience was seamless and simple. We went from Queenstown Airport to Milford Sound, went on a cruise through the sound and then flew back. Our pilot Jim made the experience even better by running everything in a fun and efficient manner. He went above and beyond to make our experience comfortable. I would definitely recommend this to anyone visiting the South Island.Written 26 March 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Penny CBarwon Heads, Australia10 contributionsWe loved our cruise and flights to the Milford sound. The pilots were fabulous and the views from both the plane and boat was spectacular.Written 22 March 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- ChrisY1156Perth, Australia30 contributionsWe were blessed to have Ashleigh as our guide and driver on this Milford Sound tour. She is very informative, sharing with us the history of the places we passed by. She is very passionate about her Aotearoa. As we were on the 6am tour, Ashleigh did make more stops than was expected for us to take in the sights. The Milford Sound cruise was spectacular even though there were some light showers. We were supposed to take the flight back to Queenstown but due to weather conditions it was cancelled. We did not mind the drive back to Queenstown as we enjoyed Ashleigh’s company. Do ask for Ashleigh for a great day at Milford Sound.Written 25 March 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- karen m8 contributionsWOW WOW WOW
This was so stunning and fun. I got to sit up front with the pilot and it was magical. It was a last minute decision to take the flight over to Milford and so glad we did.Written 18 March 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Air Milford service was amazing.Written 9 March 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Adrienne H1 contributionStan the driver was excellent - well organized , helpful, friendly and gave good information
Stunning scenery - comfortable coach and boat trip
Cafe Stop at Te Anau was overwhelmed and under prepared for the large number of people going thru - coffee on the boat undrinkable but all in all an amazingly good well organized tour
Shame due to weather we couldn’t fly backWritten 20 February 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Bus, plane and boat was all very well done.Written 10 February 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Ma R59 contributionsWe‘re just back from our „Milford Sound & Big Five Glaciers“ scenic flight with our incredible pilot Antony and wow……. Just w o w!!!!! The scenery…. I just have no words for it! Welcome to paradise! This was the perfect combination of views of beautiful Queenstown, mesmerizing Milford Sound AND the breathtaking Mt Aspiring National Park, including these stunning glaciers! Antony is such a heartwarming and sympathetic person and what I really, really, really like about trips and tours operated by companies is when the operator is really into the tour with all his heart and Antony is a perfect example for that! Although he had already done over 3.500 commercial flights in this region, he is as in love and astonished with the scenery as it was his first flight and you definitely feel the love and passion and get infected! He provided us with a whole lot of information and - as the planes are so small - could fly with us really close to the mountains, glaciers and snowfields! As I said before: Wow……….. HIGHLY recommend 10/10!!!!!!! Or even 12/10!!!Written 11 February 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Bubbly HSwindon, UK8 contributionsSuper slick excursion, everything ran like clock work, Chelsea who drove the mini bus certainly knows her stuff and certainly made our trip extra special.Written 6 March 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Thea P1 contributionThis was a once in a lifetime experience for me. The views were beautiful, flight was smooth and it was great to learn more about the area. The team did absolutely everything they could to arrange my flight, the pilots were fantastic and incredibly knowledgable and I was so impressed with the effort that was put in to make my flight possible. Everyone was welcoming, friendly, and informative - I can’t recommend them enough!!Written 19 October 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Voyager625821147366 contributionsWow! What an amazing experience. The views were unbelievable and such a memorable way to see Queenstown and Milford Sound. Thank you to our pilot Isabelle for making it such a smooth trip, as a nervous flyer she made us all feel comfortable and really appreciate that as well as her knowledgeable commentary of the passing areas. I would definitely do this again!Written 17 October 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- CalienzoAtlanta, GA73 contributionsBest small plane trip I have ever experienced, definitely a must do. One look at Antony and you just know you are going to have a safe flight—he exudes confidence and knowledge immediately. He was personable and kept us informed the entire trip. The flight was smooth and the views you won’t see any other way. Taking the plane back to Queenstown is sooo much faster and you are not as tired. I highly recommend you try this for at least one leg of your Milford Sound journey , you will not be disappointed. Thank you again to Antony for making us feel safe and comfortable on the small plane.Written 2 March 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
