- Travel383300Unforegettable!Amazing trip and I highly recommend! From start to finish, the entire day was very professional and well organized. Our pilot, Alex, was top-notch and did an excellent job on the flight over and back to Milford Sound. He described the mountains and other landmarks as we flew and also made sure our group got to the boat on time and back to the airport. The flight was as impressive as the boat cruise and the entire experience was the best part of my trip to New Zealand.
- diana29000Unforgettable experienceThe flight is unforgettable. Amazing scenery. Milford sound cruise also big success, we saw seal and penguins. Everything went very smooth, well organized.
- Wander4303919355600Accommodating and knowledgeable family run businessFirst I want to say how amazing the staff is - Kate, Antony, and all! It’s a family business and they treated us like family too! We originally booked the Fly, cruise, fly tour but due to bad weather we had to reschedule a few times until right before we were leaving Queenstown. Kate helped us find our way when we got lost finding Air Milford (right I front of our eyes) and they even let us store our carry on luggage in the office since we were flying out that afternoon. Unfortunately that day was also bad weather and we were unable to go into the Milford Sound. Instead Antony suggested we do the scenic Queenstown flight and it was a great 2nd choice. We flew in the small Cessna and it was so smooth for takeoff and landing. The views were spectacular! Antony did an amazing job of pointing out all the places we had been on our trip and the new places we couldn’t see from the ground. It was perfect and well worth it. We can’t wait to come back and do Milford Sound!
- Road3980283273000Amazing Flight And Cruise with Air MilfordFrom start to finish we had the most amazing exprience. The warmest of welcomes from Anthony and his team . His knowledge and expertise made us feel comfortable at all times. A truely professional family business leaving no detail untouched, Thank you, myself and Micheal have been travelling to New Zealand for over 20 years. we will once again leave feeling blessed to have connected with some pretty awesome guys.
- Riccardo S00Experience of a lifetimeHighlight of our trip. The views were breathtaking - an experience that we will never forget. Would highly recommend this experience; you won’t be left disappointed. 5/5
- Sightseer5550551696500Best thing to do in Queenstown!Spectacular experience! Very organized, takes safety seriously, friendly, and made the entire flight so fun and exhilarating. Highly recommend! I was considering between flying and taking the bus and would 1000000% recommend flying with Air Milford!
- kentaurides00Wonderful experienceUnfortunately weather meant that we were limited in time at Milford Sound and didn't get to do the cruise. The communication from the company was fantastic on this however, and I was offered the option of delaying in the hope of doing the cruise another day, or going with the original date. Tom was our pilot and gave some great commentary during the flight before pointing out where the best photo opportunities on the ground were. I'm so glad I did this trip - definitely worth every cent. Thanks Tom & team for an incredibly enjoyable and professional flight.
- 593geoffb00Fly in comfort back to Q-TownAntony was an amazing pilot and the flight was as memorable as it was short! Compare the 4 hour drive from Queenstown to Milford Sound to the 35 minute flying time … if the weather permits I highly recommend this! The views are unparalleled and the plane is super comfortable.
- U8342VZjulies00Best experience of my whole vacation!IT WAS INCREDIBLE!! My friend and I were lucky enough to travel for several weeks through Australia and New Zealand. We saw so many amazing sights, but THIS WAS BY FAR MY MOST FAVORITE DAY OF THE ENTIRE TRIP! Antony was our pilot, and I was lucky enough to sit up front with him on our flight back from the sound. He was funny and very informative. He also made us feel safe and was so chill. I was not nervous at all. You felt as if you could just reach out and touch the mountains! The sights were beyond awesome, and we had a terrific experience the entire time. If I am ever lucky enough to get back to Queenstown, I will come back again for sure!
- Fleta100Worth it!This was my second time going to Milford Sound - the first time the weather was not great, so I took the coach. The flight option was SO much better. Of course this time, the weather was perfect - so beautiful, and truly a fantastic experience!
- dan_jerusha00Holiday HighlightThis was the highlight of our holiday to Queenstown. The staff were very friendly and easy to deal with when booking our tour. Communication was great. We were collected from our accommodation and taken to the Air Milford base where check-in was easy. The flight was incredible, words can't describe it! It was one of the best things we've ever done. The boat cruise on Milford didn't disappoint either. We had our own upper level section of the boat, so there was no scrambling to get a seat. Lunch was provided and was perfect for the trip. Our pilot was great and very experienced and knowledge. I highly recommend this trip.
- Maxine A00MUST DO scenic flight at Milford sound!We had an incredible day for this “must do” in Queenstown! The views are truly out of this world. We cannot recommend this enough, highlight of our whole trip! Thank you to the staff for being incredibly accommodating for our tight schedule. And thank you to Anthony for being a wonderful pilot and all your knowledge! This is a third generation, family run business that is the absolute best place to do this type of excursion. Their planes are safe and top of the line. Anthony let us know they do carbon offsets as well! If you are planning a trip to South Island NZ, this is a MUST DO.
- Rachel M00Not To Be Missed ExperienceOz was was amazing as our tour guide and pilot. He gave us a heads up when there might be turbulence. And, he landed the 10-seater flawlessly. The cruise around Milford sound was just as enjoyable and the captain was just as informative. He got us up close to beautiful waterfalls. Overall, a great adventure.
- 862kathrynm00Awesome flight and cruiseThis flight and cruise was amazing. The sights from the plane was so amazingly beautiful! The cruise takes you up close to the amazing sights along the fjord!
- I7376DOrachelb00Only way to get to Milford Sound without a long drive!The views during flights were incredible and the cruise very impressive. Could improve the bus transfer, particularly on the return journey. Found the pilot more worried about protecting the windows (you are not allowed to touch the windows!) than whether passengers were wearing seatbelts!

The entire experience was magical, made even better by the amazing service we received the moment we stepped through the door to the pilot who was informative and friendly and made the whole trip so much more memorable for myself and my girlfriend. Planes were brand-new and beautiful inside with great viewing opportunities through the large windows and spacious fuselage when compared to the other planes we saw from other companies once we landed in Milford. The cruise and the cruise crew were also hilarious informative and super friendly. I shall step up from the other service industry types we encountered in Queenstown. At the time the road was closed but this was never an option for us as we wanted the scenic flight which went above and beyond our expectations.

Dear Bbartz,
Thank you for sharing your review with the TripAdvisor community.
We are so pleased that we were able to exceed your expectations and take you above and beyond (awesome pun)!!
Our pilots love flying our state of the art Cessna Caravans in the mountains and with their high wings, they make for incredible machines for flight seeing in the Southern Alps. So, we are really pleased to hear that you thoroughly enjoyed the experience of soaring above snow capped peaks, from the comfort of your leather seat, in an airconditioned cabin.
It is awesome to hear the you had a great time on the cruise in Milford too, we are very proud to work with the best cruise providers in Milford Sound and we absolutely agree that they provide an excellent service.
On behalf of both the Southern Discoveries (cruise provider) and Air Milford, thank you for choosing to fly with us and all the best for your future adventures.
Sincerely,
Mary,
Air Milford.

We had a spectacular flight with a great pilot - stunning views. Then had the delight of a pod of dolphins following us for our cruise. Air Milford were great to deal with - recommended a change in our flight time to make sure we caught the good weather.

Dear Cassienicholson,
Thank yo for taking the time to review Air Milford on TripAdvisor.
We couldn't be prouder to receive your gracious feedback and know that you had a spectacular time visiting Milford Sound aboard our Milford Sound Fly/Nature Cruise/Fly trip.
How fortunate to see dolphins in the fiord too - that certainly puts a cherry on the top of the day!
The weather is one of our greatest challenges, we fly about 70% of the time, because flying to Milford Sound is weather dependent. Milford Sound receives over 7 meters of rain annually and is one of the wettest places in the world, so we try our very best to communicate with our guests if the weather is looking bad, so that they don't miss out on experiencing Milford Sound during their visit.
On behalf of the whole Air Milford team, thank you for choosing to fly with us and all the best for your future adventures.
Sincerely,
Mary,

We were very lucky to have brilliant weather and the whole day was fabulous. On arrival at the small airport we were given a very friendly welcome and a briefing about the trip (what to look out for etc). We then headed to the plane (I think there were 12 of us) and took to the skies. The views were sensational and the pilot gave us a commentary as we flew. We landed at the tiny airstrip and boarded the boat and had an amazing trip across the Sound. We were lucky enough to see a pod of bottlenose dolphins playing at the front of the boat and some seals basking on the rocks. The scenery - towering cliffs and beautiufl waterfalls - is breath-taking. We then flew back. An awesome day. Would thoroughy recommend this company, they were extremely professional, friendly and made us feel very relaxed.

We did the fly/cruise/fly option and the flights both ways were the most amazing views and scenery I've ever seen - got some great photos from the plane. It was fun going in a little 6 seater Cessna, it felt safe and well maintained. All the staff and the pilot at Milford Air were very friendly and accommodating. Our pilot Tom was very knowledgeable and a great guide, he even waited and took some photos of us next to the plane when it was time to fly back. The cruise was great too, highlights were getting close views of some seals and getting splashed by the Sutherland falls.
Would definitely recommend the fly/cruise/fly option with Milford Air - you can't beat the views from the plane, and you save *a lot* of time not having to drive to Milford Souind.

An absolutely spectacular day! We highly recommend doing this tour if you are visiting Queenstown or are nearby. We did the fly in/cruise/fly out tour and every single moment was fabulous. Staff were all very friendly and helpful, special thanks to our pilot Antony Sproull from Air Milford whose commentary and flying skills were top notch.

Simply amazing…..
It truly is a once in a lifetime bucket list of must do’s whilst in Queenstown and priced well within budget, an awe inspiring flight with Hank over the mountain ranges in the pictured Cessna , filled with natural beauty and breathtaking views before descending into Milford sound then onto a nature walk before cruising the sound, filled with wondrous waterfalls (some of which you can touch if your game) fur seals and natural beauty aplenty. Back on the plane to Queenstown on a different route overlooking more wondrous beauty that only this part of the world can offer. It truly is hard to put into words the breath taking views throughout the journey to and from Milford Sound. Highly recommend over a 10hr return winding coach tour, there and back in just hours and looked after by true friendly professionals in Hank, Kerry and staff. Thank you air Milford for not only an unforgettable afternoon but also for a very very safe experience ….. no wonder you are voted number 1 for this trip. 👍

An absolute highlight of our trip! Our pilot Tom was a great host, he shared so much valuable information and showed us some incredible spots during our flights to and from Milford Sound. We felt so well looked after. Eveyrthing was organised for us, including a reserved table on the top deck of the cruise. My partner was stoked after playing co-pilot on the return trip, he was blown away by the whole experience - so much so, he decided to propose when we got home from our amazing day. Thank you Air Milford!

This tourist activity rates as one of the best we have been on. Air Milford were so professional and easy to deal with.
We actually went a day earlier than we had booked as they rang us to advise the weather was closing in and did we want to go a day earlier. I am so glad we did. We flew in beautiful clear skies and it was a treat to to Milford Sound bathed in sunshine. Tomo our pilot was experienced and informative.
Bring plenty of warm clothing as it gets very cold and windy on the boat if you want to go outside on the deck.
I totally recommend Air Milford if you are considering this trip.

Dear Ingrid V,
Thank you for taking the time to review Air Milford on TripAdvisor.
We are buzzing with pride, knowing that you thought our Milford Sound Fly/Nature Cruise/Fly trip was one of the best tourist activities you have been on - WOW!
The weather plays a huge part in our operations, flying to and from Milford Sound is weather dependent, we fly about 70% of the time. We try our very best to communicate with our guests and make the best of the weather conditions, endeavoring to not have guests miss out on visiting this incredible UNESCO World Heritage Site. We are so pleased to hear that you were able to be flexible with your itinerary and take us up on the offer of going flying a day early.
Thank you for your recommendation to future travelers to bring a jacket and wrap up warm. In my opinion, while on the cruise boat, the best viewing of the fiord is done from the open air decks, but, even in summer it can be chilly outside. We have plenty of space aboard the plane for guests to bring a jacket, or a bag with extra layers and we defiantly recommend brining them along with you.
On behalf of your pilot Tomo and the Air Milford team, thank you for choosing to fly with us and for your endorsement to future travelers.
All the best,

We did the fly cruise fly option. Well worth it. Especially as at the moment it’s an 8 hour round trip only by an organised coach through to Milford Sound after landfall that they’ve had. Views were spectacular. We booked the smaller boat cruise, again worth it. As due to decreased visitors numbers due to road closures to private vehicles there were only 14 passengers on the cruise!
Due to calm sea conditions we got right out to the Tasman Sea, next stop Argentina!
Well worth the whole experience.

Thank you for taking the time to review Air Milford on TripAdvisor.
We are so pleased to hear that you had an exceptional time on our Milford Sound Fly/Nature Cruise/Fly trip, this summer has been a bit of a whirlwind with wild weather severely damaging the road in & out of Milford, but you defiantly lucked out being able to fly to Milford whilst the road was closed.
We 100% agree, the views experienced during both the scenic flights and the cruise are spectacular.
On behalf of the whole team here, thank you for your kind review, we all wish you a fabulous time in Argentina!
All the best,

Such a stunning day to fly to Milford Sound, all staff were very professional and happy to help, Tommo our pilot was amazing, very informative and professional. Stunning trip on Southern Discoveries boat down the sound, bit windy but you can't pick the weather. Seen seals, got wet under waterfall which was an amazing experience. Staff on boat were lovely. Would recommend to anyone wanting to do this trip

Hi Libby,
I’m sorry your question has somehow slipped through the gaps, hopefully you are yet to fly... or more likely have given birth to a healthy child: congratulations. For future travellers we don’t recommend guests flying who are over 30 weeks. Milford is so remote there is little in the way of medical care if something were to happen.
We encourage those with infants to fly as they are free under the age of two.
Kindly, Antony @ Air Milford

Our trip was about 4.5 hours from pick up to drop off. We went with the company Air Milford on their Nature Cruise. There are a number of companies offering the same or similar tours from Queenstown. I've only been on the one tour so can't comment on differences with other tours or companies.
