Highlights

  • Bird’s eye view of Milford Sound
  • Land and cruise Milford Sound on a boat
  • Alpine landing in Milford Sound
  • Experience Milford Sound and be able to enjoy more time in your day of adventure
  • Touch down high in the sky with an alpine landing on your way home

Prepare for an unforgettable adventure! Capture stunning views of rainforests, valleys, and mountain lakes from above, with a special alpine landing adding a unique touch. Then, switch from sky to sea as you sail through Milford Sound, keeping an eye out for dolphins along the way.

This trip provides the best of both worlds: stunning aerial views and close-up experiences. Departing from Glenorchy, you'll fly over the Richardson Mountain Range toward the West Coast. Marvel at alpine peaks, forest-lined valleys, and crystal-clear lakes before making a spectacular landing.

Crossing the southern peaks, you'll reveal the majestic Milford Sound and its iconic Mitre Peak. Land here and then board a cruise to explore the fjord's wonders. Look out for Fur Seals, Dolphins, and the rare Fiordland Crested Penguins.

After the cruise, return to the helicopter for a breathtaking flight back to Glenorchy. This journey offers awe-inspiring sights and unforgettable experiences, combining the beauty of the sky and the sea.
