Air Fiordland

Queenstown, Te Anau & Milford Sounds

Suitable for children 4 years and over

When you visit New Zealand a trip to world famous Milford Sound is a must. And the best way to see it is by air. A 35 minute scenic flight from either Queenstown or Te Anau can have you in Milford Sound connecting with a cruise along the Fjord.

We have scheduled flights departing daily from Queenstown, Te Anau and Milford Sound. Our most popular flight is the Fly/Cruise/Fly which has a duration of 4.5 hours. For those of you with only a little time an overfly of Milford Sound is the way to go, taking about 1 hour and 10 minutes. There are coach and fly options also and combos combining the Dart River Safari with Milford Sound and also a fly and wine tour experience.
