From Queenstown: Milford Sound Fly-Cruise-Heli Tour

Your experience

Fly by plane, cruise the fjord, and return by helicopter with an alpine landing—three adventures in one.

Getting started

Check in at Queenstown’s flight center for a safety briefing before boarding your plane. As you climb, sweeping views of Lake Wakatipu and the Southern Alps set the stage for Fiordland’s wild grandeur.

What to expect

Your plane lands at Milford Sound, where a 2-hour cruise takes you beneath sheer cliffs, waterfalls, and rainforest valleys—watch for dolphins, seals, and penguins. Afterward, board a helicopter for the return journey, complete with an alpine or glacier landing. Step out into crisp mountain air and capture photos few travelers ever get. Together, the plane, boat, and heli give you contrasting perspectives: vast panoramas, up-close fjord views, and thrilling alpine access.
