What you can expect

Create unforgettable memories as you soar above the Milford Sound on this revealing aeroplane flight. Discover Skippers Canyon, the Paradise region, and the fjord of Milford Sound itself from an aerial perspective, then venture through natural bushland and enjoy New Zealand's native flora.

Following convenient hotel pickup, climb aboard a plane in Queenstown and take to the skies, heading for the Milford Sound. Gaze out at unparalleled views of New Zealand's stunning countryside as you glide, taking in a fantastic aerial perspective of the flourishing scenery. Pass over Skippers Canyon, a historic 13.6-mile (22-km) gorge where a turquoise river cuts through the lush land. Your flight also takes you above Paradise, a picturesque region made famous for its use in the Lord of the Rings films.

After flying over the awe-inspiring Donne glacier, arrive finally above the Milford Sound, New Zealand's own fjord. As you soak in breathtaking vistas of sheer rock peaks emerging from sparkling waters, it becomes clear why the area is regarded by some as the eighth Wonder of the World. Touch down in Milford and step out of your aircraft for a self guided walk through the area, or head to the café for a coffee and a piece of scrumptious cake. Enjoy plenty of opportunities to capture amazing photos of the local flora and fauna, before you make the return flight to Queenstown.
