Milford Sound Tour: Cruise & Flight
Overview
Embark on an intimate small-group adventure from Queenstown to Milford Sound—one of Aotearoa’s most iconic natural wonders. This fully guided day trip is more than just a destination; it’s an experience crafted with care, comfort, and connection in mind. Travel in our premium Sprinter, designed for a relaxed pace and optimal viewing, with plenty of time to stop, explore, and soak up the landscape. From majestic alpine valleys to cascading waterfalls and native wildlife encounters, every moment of the journey is part of the magic.
But the magic doesn’t end at the water’s edge. After cruising through the serene fjord, you will unforgettably return to Queenstown—via a scenic flight over Fiordland. Soar above towering peaks, ancient rainforests, and glittering lakes on a breathtaking aerial journey that offers a perspective few can witness. It’s the perfect finale to a day filled with wonder.
