Fabulous and highly recommend flying to Milford sound if you’re in the area. Our pilot, Liam, was super knowledgeable about the area and pointed out a number of neat spots during our scenic flight. Milford sound is absolutely gorgeous as well and a must see while you’re visiting!

As a wheelchair user I felt this company was experienced with clients with extra mobility needs. The pilot and staff knew when to assist and when to allow my partner I space and listened to and spoke to me. This is is key to us as a couple and I am sure that other guests with similar beds appreciates this type of auxiliary support. We felt safe at all times on board the light aircraft and the boat and the views we had were amazing. This trip is weather dependent but if it is good, it is an wonderful experience. Thank you too everyone!

This was really enjoyable from start to finish, the team were informative, punctual, and the whole day was seamless. The views were stunning from the scenic flight, just can’t get the same experience from the drive/boat. Any route you take to Milford Sounds is amazing but we thoroughly enjoyed this.
