Holiday high point (in more ways than one!)

5.00Brilliant experience, high quality tourism. Our pilot Tom was clearly very both passionate, knowledgable and professional plus certainly reassured the passengers who were a little apprehensive of flying in a small plane all around the mountains. We were very lucky with the weather but I am sure even without sunshine it would be a holiday high point. Would strongly recommend
WOW this is a must do!

5.00WOW WOW WOW what an amazing experience this tour was, the views from the aircraft were absolutely amazing. Our pilot Eric was wonderful and pointed out lots of things for us to see. The flight is about 40 minutes each way, the cruise was just as good and we were lucky enough to see the Yellow-eye penguin in their natural habitat. I have a fear of heights and do not like small aircraft but I managed to stay calm and enjoy everything.

5.00This is THE way to experience Milford Sound and the once in a lifetime views of the snowy mountains that surround it. Gliding above the mountain peaks and down into the Sound to a soft landing, then doing an incredible return flight, beats hours and hours on a bus ride any day! Amazing value for the cost.
Don’t get the bus, fly at least one way.

5.00From start to finish , just a pleasure. Very professional. Made us feel like VIPs. I will never forget the flight over. Just so beautiful. The cruise was a nice small boat. We got priority boarding for fabulous views of the sound. Despite doing this every day, we really felt they were trying to give us the best possible experience. Thanks guys
Breathtaking half day

5.00What a great day, one of the most stunningly beautiful flights and cruise I have ever done I know there are others who offer this service but the team went above and beyond with their communication, FYI weather is fickle, over a few days and regular checking in we were given the green light to go, best day
