Milford Sound Heli Tour from Queenstown with 2 Alpine Landings

Lift off from Queenstown for a 1.5 hour helicopter flight into the heart of Fiordland, where the landscape shifts quickly from secluded alpine lakes and rugged mountain peaks to lush rainforest and deep, bush lined valleys. Travelling by helicopter gives you access to remote terrain that is otherwise difficult to reach, with the added advantage of broad aerial views throughout the journey.

The flight includes views of Milford Sound and Mitre Peak before landing at the Sound, giving you a close look at one of New Zealand’s most recognised fiord landscapes. Along the way, you can expect to see towering peaks, sparkling waterways and crevasse filled glaciers, with the scenery changing again to arid rock faces in parts of the route.

Two remote alpine landings add another perspective to the trip, placing you directly in the mountain environment rather than only viewing it from above. On the return flight to Queenstown, the route passes over Tukuko Glacier, adding another distinct Fiordland feature to the experience. Throughout the flight, your professional pilot provides commentary on the landscape, helping explain the geography and the contrasts you see from the air.
