    Unforegettable!
    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.

    Accommodating and knowledgeable family run business
    First 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!

    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!

    Wonderful experience
    Unfortunately 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.

    Fly in comfort back to Q-Town
    Antony 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.

    Best 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!

    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!

    Top-class experience with a wonderfully run operation - purchased this experience for my father's 89th birthday. He absolutely loved it. The flight was incredible, the plane was fantastic and the cruise was awesome. Can't recommend this experience enough and I would only go with Air Milford!

    Fabulous trip - highly recommend this company
    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.

    Holiday Highlight
    This 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.

    MUST 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.

    A special day out with a very professional company
    The weather was perfect for an up close view of the alps before flying the the length of the gorge and landing at Milford Sound. Ossie, our pilot, made us all comfortable and talked us calmly through a couple of minutes of turbulence. His flying skill is exemplary. The cruise on Milford Sound calmed the breath, opened the senses and was a good length before the return flight over a slightly different route back to Queenstown. Somebody gets the option to sit up-front with the pilot in each direction. The best view is from the back row and has the most leg room. A day out that is etched in memory forever. Your phots can only be spectacular.

Pilot Alex did a fantastic job and helped me cross one of the top rated falls off my bucket list (sitting in the co-pilot seat). I've done 9 of 12 top falls in the world and Sutherland Falls New Zealand didn't disappoint. Normally it takes 4 days to hike or "tramp" as they call it to the falls. Instead I did the overflight which was breathtakenly beautiful. Air Milford top notch service with special cudos to Jo who has an amazin customer service gift. Congrats to the team!

Dear Dalia L, Thank you for sharing your review of Air Milford with the TripAdvisor community. It was our pleasure to host you recently and help you tick of another of your 12 top waterfalls in the world. It sounds like an enthralling bucket list, it must have taken you to some incredible locations in the world and we are really proud that our little corner of the world was involved. The Sutherland falls are super cool, they tumble 581 meters in three cascades from lake Quill, which is a high alpine lake in Fiordland National Park. As you say, one way to access it is by foot, on the 4 day Milford track, which is one on New Zealand's great walks. Or, you can join us for a 1hr scenic flight from Queenstown and get incredible birds eye views of the falls and the wider region. On behalf of the whole team, thank you for your kind feedback and all the best for finishing off your list! Sincerely, Mary, Guest services, Air Milford.

Before leaving Australia for a few days in Queenstown we booked a Fly/Scenic Cruise/Fly flight to Milford Sound. Online booking was easy on a very good website. Email confirmations were prompt.

On the day we booked the weather was not suitable and the flight did not go ahead. We were scheduled however for the following day which was a cracker with blue sky and a scattering of light cloud. We were picked up from our hotel at the nominated time by a taxi provided by Air Milford. Reception and briefing at their operational HQ at Queenstown Airport was friendly, professional and informative.

I was impressed with the brand new 10-seater Turboprop Cessna Caravan 208. This high-wing aircraft provided excellent viewing. Its cabin was comfortable and relatively quiet for a general aviation aircraft. As an aviation and flight simulation enthusiast, I was chuffed at the opportunity to fly in the co-pilot seat on the outbound leg to Milford Sound.

The flight was visually stunning. While it was in February, there was a dusting of snow on the peaks thanks to the weather of the previous day. Our pilot, Tom, provided a knowledgeable, ongoing commentary of the major features enroute. The climb out was a little turbulent. For those not experienced in smaller aircraft flying, this is normal, especially over mountainous terrain, and not to be feared. At cruise altitude of 9000 feet (2700m) it was smooth flying.

Arrival at Milford Sound, included an amazing approach into the confines of runway 11. Our pilot accompanied us to a waiting coach which took us on a 5 minute ride to the Milford Sound Cruise Centre where we embarked on a 1.5 hour cruise, exploring the awe-inspiring majesty of the Sound and its waterfalls.

On return to dock, we were met again by our pilot for the return flight. The flight path back to Queenstown was different to the outbound leg with spectacular views of deep mountain valleys and mountain peaks with permanent coverings of snow. Our final track back to Queenstown Airport took us up Lake Wakatipu alongside The Remarkables mountain range.

This is an awesome and highly recommended scenic activity if in Queenstown. Air Milford has a 100% safety record and is to be commended for its service and professionalism. It surely beats a 9 hour return road trip to Milford Sound.

Hello CaptAus, As I was your pilot on the day, I’m happy to respond to your review. Firstly, thank you for your positive and informative review. We appreciate your comprehensive summary of the experience from booking, right through to the completion of the flight. And as an aviation enthusiast, like me, it is great to hear how much you enjoyed your experience. On a personal level, I’m happy you felt your experience was handled professionally, as this is our aim for every flight. I enjoyed talking with you on the way over to Milford, and it was good to see that you recognised many of the prominent landmark features from your previous flight simulator experiences. If any of our guests have a specific requirement, we will do our best to accommodate that. I’m glad we were able to get you in the co-pilot’s seat, as someone familiar with aviation, you were able to see what was going on inside as well as outside the cockpit. With regards to the weather, we were lucky to see fresh snow on our flight. Living and working in the Southern Alps, we have to be prepared for hot and sunny one day, and snow the next. During February, which is often our hottest month, we have seen a great variance in temperatures, from snow, right through the mid 30’s (Celsius). Weather changes rapidly, making for challenging operating conditions at times. Milford and the Southern Alps speak for themselves. We are very lucky to be able to show this area to our guests, and I’m happy to hear you enjoyed your time with us. Best regards, Thomas, Air Milford Pilot.

It was my last day in Queenstown after spending some time already in Te Anui area exploring the Milford and Doubtful sound by car and boat cruises that week. I made a snap decision to do the “Milford Sound Overhead Flight with Landing and Boat cruise” from Queenstown as the weather was looking good for it. Fortunately, there was space on the plane for the morning trip at 10.00am, so was perfect as I left for home that night.
I contacted Air Milford late on the night before by email and they got back to me to confirm flight was available, there professionalism and clarity of their response and information was spot on.

The next morning after arriving at their HQ (Queenstown Airport) the Pilot Thomas Watson introduced himself to us and explained the trip route and conditions for the flight. Tom was very professional and very clear and informative, he had a great rapport with the guests. His local knowledge and his interest in what he did was obvious. Modern and comfortable plane with plenty of large windows for great views where ever you sat.

But at the end of the day it was about seeing the scenery, and it was Amazing; mountains, glaciers, fjords, valleys, coast, Tasman Sea. water falls…………..just jaw dropping. The route in and out are different and Thom’s flying was great he seemed to know where every highlight was and took advantage of the great day.
Sorry for my big rant, but is you can get the change to do this it’s a must if you really want to see that part of New Zealand,
The highlight of my trip, life time memory.

Hi Gary L, Thank you for your detailed review of your fly - cruise - fly excursion with Air Milford recently. Testimonials from guests who have already flown with us are an amazing way for future guests to decide who to fly with and we really appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts via the TripAdvisor community with such a glowing recommendation. We very often have space for last minute bookings, even right down to the morning of the flight, so it is always worth getting in touch if you'd like to fly. Typically we are out of the office by 0500 pm, so if you are interested in joining a flight the following day, you can call us to book in over the phone as we are available everyday between 0800 am and 0900 pm. Tom is one of our senior pilots and is a Queenstown local born and bred (which is rare!) so he has extensive knowledge about the regions that he flies over and is a very knowledgeable, experienced and enthusiastic pilot who loves to share his backyard with our guests. Our fleet of Cessna Caravans is the most modern in New Zealand and our latest addition ZK - SKY was fresh out of the Cessna factory late last year. When you fly with Air Milford, you fly with the company with the newest planes and also with an unblemished, 100% safety record. The views from our high winged aircraft are amongst the most spectacular in the world in my opinion, there cannot be many places where you can view such wonderful features such as glaciers, snow capped peaks, alpine tarns and waterfalls in one journey! Thanks again for the wonderful account of your time spent with Air Milford. On behalf of Tom and the rest of the team, safe travels. Best regards, Jen

We had a hiccup in our schedule and had to get to Milford Sound asap. The company was kind and accommodating (even sending a cab to pick us up). From checking in to flying it was approximately 10 mins. We left in the 4pm flight but they offer multiple flights a day.

The flight was smooth and the pilot point out the best spots during our flight. We were in Milford Sound after 35mins.

A perfect 10 for this company.

Hi Daniel M, Thank you soooo much for the five star review and the perfect 10 score! Sometimes, for whatever reason, things don't go to plan but this time we are glad that we were able to help you get to Milford when you needed to. At this time of year, the 4pm flight is the latest we have to get into Milford but we do have departures throughout the day so we can find one that will suit everyone's schedule. Just get in contact to find out more. I hope you enjoyed your time in Milford, it was our pleasure getting you there! Best regards, Jen Air Milford
