Do some of you want to go on the Milford Sound cruise?
Our Milford Sound Fly | Cruise | Fly and Milford Sound Fly | Explore | Fly share the same scenic flights in and out so that means you can all fly in at the same time, while some go cruising and some explore!
Just make sure to select the same departure time of each product when booking. If booking individually please note down Booking IDs in ‘special requirements’ so we can do our best to seat you in the same aircraft.
Please call us on 0800 676 264 1 hour before your scheduled flight time on the day of your flight for your Weather Check.
If you are self driving to us at Queenstown Airport, your check in time is 30 minutes prior to departure.
This is a Half Day experience. From check in 30 minutes before departure, to landing back at Queenstown Airport, is approximately 5 hours. Please note, this does not include time for self-driving or using our complimentary transfers. If you have plans immediately either side of your experience with us, please let us know.
It’s always a good time to fly! If the option is there, we would suggest either our 9.00am or 1.30pm departures. Please note, our 1.30pm departure time is only available at certain times of the year. Whilst we cannot guarantee it, Milford Sound can sometimes be a little bit quieter at these times.
We suggest you bring the following with you to make it a great day out:
Your flights between Queenstown and Milford Sound are approximately 40 minutes each way.
No, but you do have the option to purchase lunch at the Milford Cafe. You are also welcome to bring a picnic with you to enjoy in a picturesque spot.
You will have approximately 2 hours on the ground in Milford Sound to explore, enjoy some of our recommended short walks or grab a coffee at the Milford Cafe and enjoy the stunning views of Mitre Peak. We’ll attach a map to your booking confirmation so you can start planning your time in Milford Sound.

Our pilots will always look at the forecast for the full duration of your trip and if we feel like the weather may change, we will not leave Queenstown. Due to the weather-dependent nature of flying in the Southern Alps to Milford Sound, it is unfortunate that there are very rare occasions where the forecast changes on us and although uncommon, it can be a case that we are unable to operate the return flight. The safety of our passengers is always our highest priority and in the unlikely event that this ever occurs, we will arrange coach transfers back to Queenstown. We fully appreciate the inconvenience this will cause and do everything we can to look after our passengers.

An experience not to be missed. We had an excellent pilot who shared his obvious love of this region, pointing out the tracks, lakes and awesome peaks. Having been on the boat in the sounds before, we chose to spend the available few hours walking around the lake to lookout points and a close up view of the waterfalls. The return flight via a different route was even better and we didn't want our day to end. Thank you Glenorchy Air for a very special experience.
