Milford Sound Fly Cruise Fly

We ask all guests to call 1hr 15mins before the departure time for your weather check. If we are unable to fly due to adverse weather conditions, we will contact you to reschedule to the next available trip that suits you. If you cannot reschedule then you will receive a full refund. We always recommend that you book for the start of your time in Queenstown to allow for any weather disruptions.

You sure do. All Milford Sound Scenic Flight aircrafts have guaranteed windows seats giving you the best opportunity to take photos of what we think is the best scenery in the world.

We recommend allowing 5 hours for the full Milford Sound Fly Cruise Fly experience. This includes a two hour cruise in Milford Sound, 45 minute journey each way from Queenstown - Milford, and extra time for transfers in between. 

Flight options are weather dependent and can sometimes be limited. If you don’t see availability for your preferred date online, give our Contact Centre a call. Our team can check current conditions, help with alternate options, and assist with booking the best experience for you.

Yes! If you'd prefer to travel by coach from Queenstown and then fly back after your cruise, we offer a fly-back upgrade to the Milford Sound Day Trip (weather permitting). It’s a great way to experience the stunning overland journey into Fiordland and still enjoy the scenic flight back over the Southern Alps.

Going on a Milford Sound cruise gives you the unique opportunity to encounter native wildlife living in this remote paradise. There might be playful Keas, Fiordland crested penguins, chatty dolphins, graceful albatross, and relaxed NZ fur seals. However, it's essential to appreciate that these creatures are wild, often unpredictable, and some are facing decline. While knowledgeable nature guides will search for wildlife, the animals’ spontaneity means sightings are not guaranteed. A journey into Milford Sound offers a chance to connect with the natural world, and each sighting becomes a testament to the untamed beauty of this incredible environment.

Visiting Milford Sound in the rain is not just worth it, it's a unique and magical experience! Unlike typical preferences for sunny weather, Milford Sound truly comes alive in the rain. The rain adds a moody atmosphere, transforms the landscape, and fuels an impressive display of hundreds of waterfalls cascading down the rugged mountains. Being one of the wettest places on earth, the chances of encountering rain are quite high, making it an ideal destination for those seeking a real picturesque location.
