Milford Sound Scenic Flight Options

Milford Sound is the most renowned of all the Fiords, for it is simply the most spectacular.

Named after Milford Haven in Wales.

The Maori called it PioPiotahi, meaning "Refuge of the last Thrush".

The Sound is 15km long and surrounded by near vertical mountains rising a massive
1600m/5500ft out of the sea. The views are breathtaking and many waterfalls cascade down the slopes,
making it no surprise that Milford Sound was judged the World’s Number 1 Travel Destination in the 2008 Travelers’ Choice Destinations Awards by TripAdvisor.

The Milford Sound cruise is highly regarded way to view the sound. We recommend the early morning or late afternoon cruises to capture the best scenery without flat light affecting photogenic potential not to mention avoiding the midday crowd.

  • Milford Sound Overflight

$390/ person

  • This flight departs Manapouri and takes an all encompassing view of the mountain ranges between Te Anau and Milford Sound. In general this flight stays at the height of the mountain tops while around Milford Sound. High altitude provides far better photography opportunities than low level flight around the fiord but if you want to descend down to low levels we would recommend the fly cruise fly.
