absolutely amazing! - This trip was absolutely worth every penny. We had a great drive to Milford Sound--Shale, our driver, was excellent!! The cruise was very pleasant, beautiful views and the buffet was very filling! We concluded the trip with a flight back with Glenorchy air. Joseph was an excellent pilot and guide during the flight. We highly recommend and would do it again!!

Seamless and amazing! - This was a once-in-a-lifetime tour. Our tour guide and driver was Ash, and she was amazing--friendly, full of Kiwi knowledge, and a great driver. The cruise was gorgeous; we completely lucked out, weather-wise, and had perfect visibility and no rain. The flight back to Queenstown was absolute perfection! It felt like we could reach out and touch the mountain peaks. You will never regret taking this tour!!

The perfect flight - We flew on what I suspect was one miracle of a perfect weather day! Simply stunning. No cloud, no wind. You know it’s a good day when the pilot was taking photos! I sat next to your pilot (always good when I’m a recreational pilot) and he was so professional and informative.
The day was a 10!

Excellent tour guide with Shelley! - Plan for a very full day. The trip there is planned with great stops along the way to either use a toilet or grab a snack or even just to see something interesting along the way.

coach, bus, fly the only way to see Milford Sound - We had the best day. Everything went so smoothly. Tour Guide Tommy was awesome. A must do when in Queenstown. Flying back was amazing defiantly value for money. I found Viator by googling online and found the reviews positive so thank you to everyone for their good reviews we made the right choice by booking through them.

Milford Sound and Scenic Flight Tour - Our tour was through Altitude. Our tour guide, DO was very knowledgeable and told us a lot about the land. She made the 5-6 hour tour very enjoyable. Milford Sound is a must do if you are visiting Queenstown. We took the flight back from Milford Sound and the cost was well worth it value.

Milford on a clear sunny day... WOW. - Loved it. Mercedes van tour to Milford, boat ride, flight back on what turned out to be a clear sunny day, was exceptional. Bus driver Chelsea Rogers was really wonderful, knowledgeable and charismatic and the pilot who flew us back to Queenstown was also great. Thanks for a brilliant day. Highly recommend.
