Milford Sound & Fiordland

Milford Sound is probably the most sought after destination in NZ, and sometimes acclaimed as 'The 8th wonder of the World'.

Milford and Fiordland's mountains rise vertically up out of the sea to a height more than anywhere else in the world.

Fly over the pristine clear blue waters of Lake Wanaka, up wide braided rivers that drain the Southern Alps snow melt, to mighty Mt. Aspiring. After crossing numerous glaciers valleys, alpine lakes and mountain ranges we fly along the rugged West Coast beaches, seeing seal colonies and bird life in their natural habitat before entering the mouth of Milford Sound from the Tasman Sea. We fly the whole length of the Sound to land at Milford Aerodrome. After a short look around and bush walk and depending on your choice of flight, we either proceed back to Wanaka if on the Milford Magic flight, or if on the Grand Circle flight, we fly on deeper into Fiordland to see the impresive World’s 5th highest water fall, the Sutherland Falls.

From here we proceed back to Wanaka through more of remote Fiordland via Lake Wakatipu, and over the gold rich Shotover River.
