Half-day helicopter tour from Queenstown with hotel transfers, flights over Fiordland National Park and Milford Sound, plus landings at Milford Sound and a beach.

Tour Overview

See Fiordland National Park from the air on this half day helicopter tour from Queenstown, with round trip travel from your Queenstown hotel included. Flying into Fiordland National Park gives you a wide view of the region’s cliffs, waterfalls, and forested valleys, with commentary from your guide during the flight.

You will soar high above Milford Sound, a perspective that shows the scale of the landscape in a way that is difficult to appreciate from the ground. The flight is described as one of the best ways to see Milford Sound by air, with broad views across the fiord and surrounding terrain.

There is a 30 minute landing in Milford Sound for a comfort break and photo opportunities, along with time for a short stroll. From here, you can take in views toward Mitre Peak and spend a little time on the ground before continuing your journey.

The tour also includes additional landings on a West Coast beach and on a glacier or alpine area, adding contrast to the flight through Fiordland. Over approximately 2.5 hours, this experience combines aerial sightseeing, guided insight into the area’s geography, and time at Milford Sound itself.
