It’s a long bus ride, so strongly recommend the flight back to Queenstown from Milford. Scenery is awesome, our guides were great trhoughout the day
What an amazing experience! I loved all three sections of the tour! Your quide was very informative, knowledgeable, and entertaining! Alegra was amazing. She kept everything going smoothly. The boat tour around the fjord was really cool! The return flight was amazing! I got to sit upfront in the copilot seat and was one of the best experiences!

Great experience overall, and the services provided were excellent. The guides were all very pleasant and knowledgeable. The views were spectacular.
Absolutely perfect day! The drive out with our guide Do was excellent. She gave great commentary and made several stops to beautiful scenic roots along the way. I loved Do's playlist! Her info and insights on the areas we passed was helpful and entertaining. The cruise on Milford Sound was beautiful. The flight back to Queenstown was an excellent way to see the beauty of Milford Sound and Queenstown from another perspective. The plane ride was bumpy but our pilot was excellent. Highly recommend this awesome experience.
Absolute must do! Carol our driver and guide was amazing, boat was great and flight back was spectacular.
It’s like a fun road trip with stunning views and many photo opps. The boat cruise was above and beyond expectation. So glad we chose this tour. Amy R is a great tour guide and provided lots of information along the way.
Fantastic crew both on the flight and on the cruise. Stu was our pilot there and back. With 40 years flying experience we were able to relax and feel safe in his hands, so we could enjoy the flights. He prepared us in advance about the inevitable bumpy headwinds on our ascents and descents, which put us at ease. He also shared many facts about the landscape as we flew over it. He was also friendly and polite when giving us instructions. The same was true of the young crew manning the cruise ship. We were all welcomed with smiles upon boarding, we were told where we could obtain complimentary drinks, and we were given plenty of facts about Milford Sound and its history throughout the cruise. The staff were also playful, which brought a jovial mood to the whole experience. A great trip overall.
Kia ora, Thank you for this lovely review. We're thrilled you enjoyed both the flight and your time on the cruise. Stu will be happy to read your kind words and will be glad to know you had a fantastic experience. Ngā mihi nui, Milford Sound Scenic Flights
Unfortunately, our flight was confirmed as part of the trip to first the day before at 1pm and then canceled at 2:30pm due to work at the airfield. Very short notice for a trip we booked half a year earlier. We then accepted the offer coach-cruise-coach around and hope for a corresponding refund.
Kia ora, We apologise for the short-notice cancellation and recognise it must have been disappointing, especially after planning so far in advance. Regrettably, the runway closure occurred with very little warning. We hope you still enjoyed the coach trip and your visit to Milford Sound / Piopiotahi. Ngā mihi nui, Milford Sound Scenic Flights
it rains 260 days a year, and apparently they often cancel flights if you've booked a bus one way and a flight to get back to queenstown. the refund for the cancelled flight from viator was significantly less than the cost if you booked direct with the tour company. then, if you choose to get a chopper back, the cost is ridiculous.
