Coolest experience ever
It is definitely worth experiencing in life! We got to see the marvelous views from the sky high view. The flight was great and safe, only the return flight was bumping and made us a bit sickness. Thanks to our pilot Scott's introduction during the flight and the cruise ship is such an enjoyable experience! Except I lost my wallet during the flight, that's very unfortunate and sad especially it happened during a trip.

An incredible experience - one we won’t forget!
Once we had the go ahead to fly (due to cloud in Milford Sound) we took off on our 9 seater plane with Southern Alps Air. Flying over Lake Wanaka gave us a glorious view of the whole lake. We soon were over snow capped mountain peaks, glaciers, valleys, lakes and rivers, the views were outstanding…we could see range after range of the Southern Alps and Mt Aspiring standing guard. Henry, our pilot gave us a great commentary pointing out the names of the mountains, lakes and valleys as we passed, giving us a little history along the way. As we dropped down through Milford Sound to land we realised just how small we were in comparison to the giant mountains around us. The Cruise on the Milford Sound (with Southern Discoveries) was stunning! The sun shone, there were some atmospheric clouds. Mitre Peak welcoming us into the fjord with what seemed like vertical walls of rock. The waterfalls dropped majestically from great heights and we even saw dolphins swimming along the cliff edges. The return flight (via a different route) was fabulous too!

We are thrilled to hear that you loved your experience with us, we wish you all the best with your future travels and would love to have you on board with us again, SSA team!

Exhilarating scenery
Easy booking. Prompt contact with team at sound air to reschedule due to weather issue. Friendly welcoming reception. Felt very confident in pilot and enjoyed commentary. Very smooth transition to coach and amazing boat cruise. A brilliant jaw dropping experience. Would recommend.
