- 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!
- shellsmoments00Highly recommend - these guys are the best!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!
- HLW5500Fabulous trip - highly recommend this companyWe 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.
- 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.
- ELP73200A special day out with a very professional companyThe 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.
- 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.

Absolutely breathtaking experience and should be top of every persons list. You really have no appreciation how vast and wonderful the NZ southern alps are until you've flow them with Air Milford. Really refreshing to see a true local family run business that loves what they do and treats all guests well and appreciates them. Cant speak highly enough of this experience and worth every cent.

Hello Jaytnic,
Thank you so much for taking the time to write a review. I will be sure to pass your feedback on to Tom.
The weather can certainly be tricky to navigate at times. Its common to have four seasons in one day in Queenstown & Fiordland. We always do our absolute best to get you in the air. I'm so glad the weather gods smiled and we were able to get you in the air and experience our beautiful region from the skies - I'm sure incredible memories were made.
On behalf of all of our team here at Air Milford, thank you for flying with us.
Many thanks,
Annette - Marketing @ Air Milford.

The whole experience was just amazing. It was a belated Birthday present for my partner and he was over the moon that he got to sit in the co-pilots seat, for a birds eye view!
The scenery was incredible, didn't even know there were other glaciers around other than the big two, so it was really breathtaking! Our pilot was so knowledgeable and the flight was so smooth. Luckily we picked the best day to go and got some amazing pictures.
Would highly recommend the flight and Air Milford, they were so friendly and professional at the same time and we would definitely use them again!
THANK YOU TO ALL AT AIR MILFORD!!

Dear Todd k,
Thank you for sharing your pictures and review of Air Milford on TripAdvisor.
We are humbled to receive your incredibly kind review of your recent scenic flight with us.
It's not often we have the pleasure of hosting locals on a trip round our mutual backyard and we are so pleased that we were able to do so, aboard the luxury of our Cessna Caravan!
The two photographs you have shared from your Milford Sound & Big 5 Glaciers scenic flight are simply stunning. The first is a beautiful shot of one of the many spectacular glaciers located in the Mt Aspiring National Park and the second is a shot looking down to Milford Sound. You can just make out the Milford Sound runway under the wing strut, the fiord itself stretches out on the right of the shot and the Cleddau River is snaking up the valley in the center of the shot, to it's mouth in Deepwater Basin.
On behalf of your pilot and the rest of the Air Milford team, thank you for choosing to fly with us and for your high endorsement to future travelers.
All the best,
Mary,

From start to finish this experience was amazing.
Firstly our pilot Oz was fantastic and a credit to the company.
The ladies and gents in this company are amazing too. You will never find a happier bunch of people. The flight we booked was cancelled so we were upgraded without hesitation to another flight. Picked up and dropped off. They are very safety conscious.
Seriously this company is just brilliant. We will be back.
Thanks for a wonderful flight.

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.

Hi Maxine,
Thank you so much for taking the time to write this review.
We think you hit the nail on the head by describing this as a MUST DO activity while travelling in the South Island of NZ.
We appreciate you providing feedback on our staff and that you had the pleasure of flying with Antony.
We always aim to make this trip work even on a tight schedule, as we do think the flight to and from Milford Sound is too good not to be experienced!
Once again thank you for your review.

Dear Praveen,
Thank you for sharing your review and beautiful photos with the TripAdvisor community.
We are so pleased that you thoroughly enjoyed your recent scenic flight with Tom, he loves sharing our local region with his guests. It is a pity that Milford Sound was obscured by cloud, the view of Milford is a cool segment of the flight, but we are glad that the splendid Tititea / Mt Aspiring and glaciers of the Southern Alps kept you well entertained.
I love the shot you have shared taken from the pane, while flying over the Hollyford Valley. You can see Lake McKerrow / Whakatipu Waitai enclosed by dense bush around its shores and cloud covering the Tasman Sea.
On behalf of the whole team here at Air Milford, thank you for choosing to fly with us and all the best for your future adventures.
Sincerely,

One of the most memorable experiences of our two weeks in New Zealand was flying in a gorgeous vintage airplane on our “Milford and Big 5 Glaciers Flight” with AirMilford. All of Air Milford's flights leave from Queenstown airport, which is only a fifteen minute drive from downtown Queenstown. There’s an assortment of morning and midday tours, so they’re easy to fit in with the rest of your schedule, whether you’re hiking, wine tasting, or jumping off of something!
Some of the most popular offerings from Air Milford are flights that land in Milford Sound, and connect you with a cruise of the sound. For people who don’t want to spend time driving on vacation, this is perfect and saves a long 4-5 hour drive from Queenstown. (Longer if you’re taking the bus.) Or, perhaps the best of both worlds, the bus-cruise-fly option. Here you will drive out to Milford on a tour bus, allowing you to see the stunning scenery, and then do your cruise. Then, when the last thing you want is to get back on a bus, you can return via plane, making the journey 30 minutes instead of 5 hours!
The Big 5 Glaciers is the first of the day, leaving at 8am. It is a one hour aerial tour without a landing. Since we wanted to do the Key Summit hike, we chose to drive to Milford and do the cruise on our own, so this was the perfect flight option to allow us to explore the park on our own pace, but still have the incredible view of it from above.

Dear Hutsonl14,
Thank you for sharing your review of Air Milford on TripAdvisor.
It was our pleasure to host you on our 8am Milford Sound and Big 5 Glaciers scenic flight recently! This flight is a new addition to our timetable this summer and the feedback has been overwhelmingly positive.
An early start in the morning is rewarded by stunning sunrise views of our local regains, including Mt Aspiring and Fiordland National Parks during the one hour scenic flight.
Unlike our other excursion, this flight does not land in Milford Sound, or include a cruise and so is ideal for guests who have already visited Fiordland, or who only have a very brief window of time to explore the awe-inspiring scenery.
On behalf of the Air Milford team, thank you for choosing to fly with us and all the best for your future adventures.
Sincerely,
Mary

Dear Andred,
Thanks for your review of Air Milford, and the commendable accolade about this being the best scenic flight you've ever experienced. My father grew up flying here for the major carrier at the time, and even back in the 70's their marketing material read "The Best Scenic Flight in the World!". The scenery hasn't changed, but the equipment is newer and safer. so there couldn't be a better time to experience it! So you've set the tone for future travellers, now it is our turn to continuing this theme into 2020 and beyond!
With thanks,
Antony

We looked at other options and was recommended to take this flight, the day before all flights were cancelled due to weather conditions. We flew with another couple and found the James Hill, the pilot great. He was informative, had a lovely manner and definitely an experienced pilot. From start to finish we totally enjoyed this experience!! My husband sat in the front seat next to pilot as he's an avid 'wannabe pilot'. Top Marks - don't give this one a miss!!

Dear Karen L,
Thank you for reviewing your experience with Air Milford on TripAdvisor.
We are very pleased to receive your kind feedback about flying with James recently - we absolutely agree that he is a great pilot, hearing your complimentary words about his informative manner, made him blush bright red!
The Milford Sound & Big 5 Glaciers Flight is our newest trip, it is a 1hour scenic flight which covers views of Milford Sound, Mt Aspiring and Fiordland National Parks, along with a handful of our local glaciers, often a lot more than 5!
We have received some great feedback about this new flight and it's awesome to add your 'fantastic, awesome experience' to this.
On behalf of Jimmy and the whole team, thank you for your top marks and all the best for the rest of your adventures,
Sincerely,
Mary,
