Amazing experience and very well organised. Communication was great leading up to and during flight. Many thanks for letting me sit in the co-pilot seat

Fantastic not to be missed stunning scenery and great pilot full of knowledge well worth the money. Went on the five glaciers and Milford sound flight

We flew from Milford Sound to Queenstown with Tom. The experience was outstanding - Tom was friendly, professional and made the flight seem like a specialized tour. He took us over the sounds and back over the mountains pointing out all of the special areas of interest. Our 22-year old daughter sat up front, and he could not have been nicer. Highly recommended trip to complement the scenic morning drive from Queenstown to Milford.

This was a once in a lifetime experience for me. The views were beautiful, flight was smooth and it was great to learn more about the area. The team did absolutely everything they could to arrange my flight, the pilots were fantastic and incredibly knowledgable and I was so impressed with the effort that was put in to make my flight possible. Everyone was welcoming, friendly, and informative - I can’t recommend them enough!!

We did just the flight, and not the cruise. We took the 2 hours to walk around the area and relax with a coffee at the Cafe. Our pilot, Anthony(?) was very friendly, and gave some fun and informative commentary both during our flights and when we met him at the Cafe. The plane was very, very cool! It had just snowed the night before, so the scenery was even my spectacular. The whole team was very friendly and efficient. This truly is a must-do activity in when you're in Queenstown, and Air Milford is definitely the way to do it!

We booked air transport to and from Milford Sound because we were scheduled for an overnight cruise. Unfortunately, we had completely underestimated the potential weather impact. Luckily, the entire crew at Air Milford worked to arrange alternative flight arrangements to ensure we made our overnight cruise as well as our flight home. The pilot, Antony, even arranged to have the cruise ship's bus driver drop us off at a different airfield when weather prevented him from landing in Milford Sound for our return flight. We travel often, and our experience with Air Milford far exceeded our expectations.

What a fantastic experience! The company were really accommodating in fitting us in to a trip. Our pilot Emma was very friendly and provided a great commentary. Views were amazing - an experience I will never forget. Would highly recommend flying with Air Milford.

Great experience flying over the southern alps into Milford Sound. Just amazing scenery and so cool to get so close to the mountains. All staff were fantastic and helpful.

A brilliant experience, fantastic crew, and great views! I organised a surprise scenic Queenstown flight for my partner's birthday and, to my absolute delight, Air Milford upgraded us to the Milford Sound flight (big shoutout to Sara!). I had been to Milford several times before, but to see it from the air was such an amazing experience that I will remember forever! Would highly recommend.
