Combine Alpine and fiord beauty in one: soar high, land on snow, then glide through Milford Sound’s majestic cliffs.
Begin at Queenstown’s heli-base, where you'll receive a warm welcome and a clear safety briefing. Climb aboard a luxurious Airbus H125 “goldfish-bowl” helicopter, with panoramic views inviting you to leave the road behind and embrace Fiordland’s unfolding wonder.
This is more than a cruise—it’s a full-circle adventure. Fly across snow-capped peaks and sculpted valleys, then land atop a glacier or snow ridge to breathe icy air and snapshot vistas few ever see. Touch down in Milford Sound for a guided walk amid towering cliffs and iconic waterfalls. Each moment—from rotor lift to water’s edge—is narrated by your expert pilot. Flexible scheduling ensures comfort, safety, and a flight only when conditions are clear.
Scenic flying over Fiordland’s finest: Take off from Queenstown and fly over alpine valleys and the rugged peaks of the Southern Alps. See waterfalls, native beech forests, and glacier-carved landscapes on your way to the coast.
Milford Sound by water: Land in Milford Sound and board a purpose-built catamaran for a relaxed 2-hour nature cruise. Glide beneath sheer cliffs, spot waterfalls tumbling into the fiord, and marvel at Mitre Peak from the water. Complimentary tea, coffee, and onboard commentary included.
Alpine landing: On your return flight, enjoy a remote alpine landing. Step out for unbeatable views, fresh mountain air, and photos.
Expertly guided experience: Your pilot doubles as your personal guide in the air, offering live commentary about the landscapes below.
Small group, big experience: Flights are limited to just six passengers per helicopter, ensuring uninterrupted views, plenty of space, and a more personal experience from start to finish.
