Milford Sound Scenic Flight

Experience magnificent Milford Sound / Piopiotahi by air

Experience Milford Sound / Piopiotahi by air on this scenic flight from Queenstown. Fly above the rugged backcountry of Central Otago, before heading westward to where the glacial-fed rivers empty into Lake Whakatipu. As you cross over into the Fiordland National Park, you’ll discover an untouched world of peaks and valleys, where mountains reach into the sea – a landscape forged by the rapid retreat of glaciers.

Soaring above Milford Sound / Piopiotahi, you’ll get an aerial perspective of cascading waterfalls hidden amongst towering peaks, and embrace the magnificence of Mitre Peak as you fly by it. From the luxuriant mosses and ferns clinging to sheer rock faces to immense peaks rising straight from the ocean depths, the entire experience is truly awe-inspiring.

Fly across the mountain ranges and beech forests of the Southern Alps, above the famous Milford Track and more stunning Fiordland scenery before you reach the striking Lake Wakatipu and land back at Queenstown Airport, rated one of the world’s most scenic landings.
