Traveler Reviews

Flew there and back in light aircraft with each passenger having window seat which was great and amazing views over the mountains. Then went on 2 hour cruise with mitre cruises which was fantastic and was lucky to see dolphins and seals on the trip. A thoroughly enjoyable day and fully recommend it to everyone.

We left our car in te anau parking and enjoyed every stop on the way till the milford sound. we were fortunate to hear all the info from our guide, and we also got last minute tickets to the helicopter ride N land on the snow up high. nature is at its prime there, but with the help of the qualified guide it is even nicer

We really enjoyed our day from the flight to the Milford Sound Trek to the cruises. Simon, our pilot, took us over the mountains and we saw several glaciers and the valleys and mountains were awesome. The Milford Sound trek is a 3 mile in and 3 out hike. The trail is fairly smooth but it is not a leisurely stroll as you have time frames to meet to get back to the water taxi for the cruise. The trek was so worth it! The beautiful waterfall at the turnaround site was remarkable. Remember your water and insect repellent as the sand flies are ruthless! The cruise on Milford Sound was nice and was a great break after the trek. The sea lions were the only animals we saw but the waterfalls along the way were awesome. Definitely worth the money as driving takes way to long.

We took flight from Queenstown to Milford Sound on a single engine plane. After reaching Milford Sound we took a short boat ride to a walking trail. The trail is absolutely beautiful and it’s about 5 Kilometers each way. After this we were served with lunch boxes and then we rode on a boat. It was such a beautiful ride which is hard to describe. Anyway, without Milford Sound tour your sightseeing trip would not be complete! P.S. don’t forget to bring the insect repellent since there are tons of sand flies.

We did the Milford Flights Fly Walk Cruise Fly. The entire experience was extremely well organized. We organized our trip to NZ around this experience and understood that there could be cancellations due to weather. Milford Flights staff kept us updated and we were able to fly to Milford a few days after our original planned flight. The flight was amazing and the walk was great because of our tour guide, Mark. We walked for about 1 hour at a healthy clip to view a beautiful waterfall and stopped for about 30 minutes, then walked back. The cruise was wonderful too, we saw dolphins and seals. On the way back, we flew a different way and had amazing views. It was a packed day and a great experience overall.
