  • Take a gorgeous scenic flight to Milford Sound
  • Explore by water with a 2 hour Milford Sound Cruise
  • Convenient transfers from Queenstown

Join us for the ultimate day-trip to New Zealand's unforgettable Milford Sound.

Experience for yourself the grandeur and stunning beauty of a place where mountains plunge steeply into a deep fiord teeming with rare wildlife.

You'll soon see why Milford Sound is one of the world's greatest destinations as you take in the scale of this natural wonder from both the air and sea.

The flight from Queenstown over the Southern Alps opens up endless panoramic views of a landscape forged by the greatest forces of nature, left unchanged by man.

Take it all in; rugged ridge-lines, snow-capped peaks, waterfalls cascading to lush valley floors covered with ancient forests, and divided by crystal clear streams.

On arrival in Milford Sound you will set off onboard a comfortable cruise vessel to begin an up-close exploration of the fiord from sea level.

Jagged cliffs, and hanging rainforest rises sharply up to snowy peaks hundreds of meters above you.

Expect to see seals and occasionally dolphins and penguins as you pass close to magnificent waterfalls and sheer granite cliffs, while your skipper provides you with a detailed and entertaining commentary of the region and its history.

Amazing experience, 5 stars, a 10 star experience.

Maybe it was the blue skies and those perfectly placed clouds brushing the mountaintops, but I wasn’t prepared for just how breathtaking this trip would be. The views on takeoff and landing—both ways—were unreal, and the cruise through Milford Sound just sealed it. Photos can’t capture the scale here: the sheer height of the surrounding peaks, the snow-capped ridges, the waterfalls that seem to fall forever. It’s one of those “you have to see it yourself” experiences. If you can swing it, take the plane in and out. The views are extraordinary, and our pilot was fantastic—smooth, confident, and brought us right up close to the mountains. Absolutely unforgettable. Wow.

Absolutely Amazing

We had an amazing fly cruise fly experience with True South Flights. Thankfully we had an ok to fly when we phoned at 9.30am which was a relief after waiting for this once in a lifetime trip. Tanmay our pilot was amazing providing a very safe and enjoyable flight in and out of Milford Sound. Also thanks to Belinda who we met in the office the day before

Milford Flight

Absolute highlight of many years of travel around the world. It’s a MUST DO item. Our pilot Michael was much more than just a pilot. He loves his job and went out of his way to make sure we had a great day out. Five stars is not enough.
