    What an incredible trip, a very professional company with friendly people. We had fabulous weather which was a real bonus. Alex was our pilot and we saw so much both ways. The boat trip was great and we got right up us as far as the Tasman Sea as it wasn’t too windy, we even had dolphins running behind our boat - a beautiful sight. Flying both ways was great, we didn’t fancy a long trip back on a coach. A packed lunch was provided on the boat and it was very good. Such an incredible place.

    A great base team who worked hard to slot us in ahead of inclement weather. Tour a delight and the cruise informative amongst epic scenery.

    Absolutely fabulous. I was a little apprehensive about going on such a small plane but so glad I did! The scenery from the air is spectacular and to see it from the boat gives such a different perspective and then to see it from above again on the return flight was incredible. We were totally looked after from being picked up from our motel to being returned - the whole team are excellent. This has been a highlight of our 4 week holiday to NZ, highly recommend it !

  • Well organised with exceptional views and experience

    I couldn’t recommend both the experience and the company highly enough. The organisation in the run up to our trip and on the day was excellent. We were collected at the time stipulated, enjoyed a beautiful scenic flight with excellent narrative from our pilot Corey. The cruise was excellent and again narrated well with a generous packed lunch. We loved this experience and would do it again without hesitation. Although more than a coach ride, the time saved and the views are totally

  • What an awesome experience that was and how lucky that we could fly!

    What an awesome experience that was and how lucky that we could fly! On the day of our original booking unfortunately weather was poor and the trip cannot proceed. The team was able to rebook us for next day. Fortunately we were able to fly this time and what an amazing trip that was - the beauty one can see from the air is indescribable, snow capped mountains on the left, rainforest on the right, dozens of waterfalls down below, an enormous glacier feeding lakes, endless beauty. We got to fly with the Chief Pilot, who was such a pleasure and an excellent communicator. One cannot help but like the whole Air Milford team - smiling, friendly and courteous people. We were not able to land at Milford and so our cruise and home part of the experience did not happen due to the poor weather forecast at Milford later in the day. All this was explained during the briefing and customers had to option to cancel and get full refunds if they wanted. I am absolutely 💯 pleased we were able to fly and would highly recommend to anyone in this situation to take the chance and do the flights, even if the cruise bit in not possible. You will be awestruck. Thank you, Chief Pilot and the entire team for such a memorable experience!

    This activity was truly the whole package!! Our flight attendant (and owner of the company) had lots of knowledge of the country which I enjoyed and always felt safe. You truly get the BEST views of NZ with this tour, 10/10!
