Experience one of New Zealand's number one tourist destinations from three fantastic perspectives - a luxury scenic coach into Milford Sound, a small boat cruise and an awe-inspiring scenic flight!
Experience one of New Zealand's number one tourist destinations from three fantastic perspectives.
First travel south by luxury coach along the shores of Lake Wakatipu, with the Remarkable Mountain range rising to 2,290m to your left and spectacular views across the lake to the Eyre Mountains out to your right.
From then it's through rural New Zealand heartland as you head west towards Te Anau for a short stop.
From Te Anau it is north into the heart of the Fiordland National Park, with numerous stops on your way to Milford Sound allowing you to enjoy the grandeur of your surroundings.
On arrival at Milford Sound you will board a small cruise boat and journey the length of the fiord towards the Tasman Sea. This will give you the chance to experience the spectacular waterfalls and rare wildlife of Milford Sound.
After your cruise boat docks you will be escorted to your aeroplane, where every seat is a window seat for the return flight back to Queenstown.
This breathtaking scenic flight lasts approximately 40 minutes, giving you the chance to see from the air the amazing sights you have just experienced from land and water.
You will experience panoramic views of razor sharp ridgelines, snow capped peaks and deep glacial formed valleys. The flight takes you across the Southern Alps towards the head of Lake Wakatipu before following the lake to Queenstown.
You will arrive in Queenstown late afternoon approximately four hours ahead of your fellow passengers returning by coach, giving you a little more time to experience all that Queenstown has to offer.
The cruise was incredible and we really appreciated the crews efforts to welcome us onboard and help us spot seals and dolphins! We were disappointed to have to get the coach back rather than flying but the weather didn’t hold out for us. The coach journey into Milford was informative and beautiful. Would highly recommend this experience.
Pilot met us at our tour bus and escorted to shuttle to airport. Flight was amazing - total new view of incredible scenery. Shuttle service back to our hotel was friendly and efficient. Memorable adventure.
Definitely recommend fly back option. The scenery is just fantastic
This was one of the most incredible experiences in NZ after spending two weeks in both the North and South Islands. Extremely well looked after by the team at True South Flights and Jucy as I did a last-minute booking (the night before) and it all worked out perfectly. The coach to Milford sound was great, we learnt a lot on the way there and stopped off at a lot of scenic points along the way. The cruise was beautiful; however, the highlight was the flight in a propeller plane back to Queenstown. Seeing Milford Sound from above is breathtaking, with views of the mountains covered in vegetation or snow. It was the best way to view the Milford Sound region out of the other two methods. Our pilot was extremely nice and pointed out areas of interest. It made for an extremely memorable experience and I highly recommend it!
