Half-Day Milford Helicopter Flight and Cruise from Queenstown - 202

Trip did not eventuate due to poor weather conditions. However an alternative 35 minute flight was offered which was quite an experience

Once in a lifetime experience… truly exceptional trip and worth every cent! The guide was fantastic and very knowledgeable, the glacier stop was absolutely breathtaking. Highly recommend this to anyone. In fact, it should be on EVERYONE’S bucket list!

Spectacular view, with great flying and commentary from Alfie! Milford looked amazing (with some sun) and we got to walk around the beauty spots before the flight back. Glacier was stunning.

We’ve done a fair bit of travelling but this experience was AMAZING! The scenery is some of the most breathtaking you will see. Our pilot Alfie was fantastic and very skilled showing us some key spots. My only suggestion would be to suggest to the others in the group to rotate in the helicopter so everyone gets a turn in the front seat. As front seat has the best views. Would do it again without a doubt!

Amazing experience! Our tour guide was great through the experience as I was a little worried as it was my first time in a helicopter. Highly recommended!

Views flying over remarkables extraordinary,so close to cliff sides. Pilot Luke soooooo helpfull when I fell over in snow on glacier. Stamped path back to helicopter for me to walk on with his assistance. Teens enjoyed running in snow to cliff edge. Luke took lots of photos of then on rocks and in snow.

What a Remarkable day taking the helicoptor to Milford and back. We stopped on a glacier and had some amazing phot opportunities. The ferry trip at Milford sound was informative with more spectacular again. The sheer cliffs of the Sound and raw beauty unfolds all around. A totally worthwhile experience.

It was one of a kind experience. It is a must do if within your means. I was short on time and needed excursions to be time-saving. The views from above are breathtaking. We saw a goat on the glacier, lazily basking under the sun, while flying by to Milford Sound. Then a cruise on the fjord. We came very close to the falls. It was majestic. On our way back, we landed on a glacier for more a stunning views. I would do this again and go more places in a heart beat.

Whenever we leave a destination our motto has been NOT to say these words: “I wish I had done that!” I’ve been in (and out) of helicopters many many times. Mostly getting paid to do so by Uncle Sam. This was a topper. You often hear people say “that will take your breath away”. This actually does. Our young NZ pilot Jeremy was absolutely first class. The right mix of area knowledge, care and attention to detail, and comfortable interaction with the passengers. We were lucky to fly in the “Maserati” (his words) of the Queenstown fleet. Getting to Milford Sound requires extreme luck weather wise. Out of 100 days, maybe 25-30 days the choppers get up. Of that 30, 60% stop short of the Sound and get a trip rebate. We were actually delayed twice before takeoff and odds were 50/50 the ceiling around Milford would clear. This is an extraordinarily safe undertaking. The clouds cleared and the ship ride up the sound after arriving, while gorgeous almost seemed anticlimactic. Stopping and standing on a Glacier is not something you’d do everyday. Jeremys piloting was so effortless you could barely be concerned as the helicopter climber the glacier face and dipped down the opposite side. Too bad Viator won’t attach videos I think we all took marketing productions. Just a word of warning: don’t leave Queenstown and say : “I wish I had done that!”

Excellent from start to finish. Far exceeded my expectations, the helicopter pilot's experience made for a thrilling and informative trip. Milford Sound was beautiful, we were lucky enought to see some dolphins too. I would highly recommend this trip.
