Milford Sound Heli Flight and Cruise with Lunch - Half Day

Embrace the adventure of experiencing Milford Sound by air, sea and snow in this half-day helicopter tour and boutique boat cruise with a two-course lunch included. Tailored for those who seek a hassle-free day, your journey lifts off from Queenstown. Sweep over Fiordland National Park’s peaks, rainforests and waterfalls before descending to the fiord for a cruise. Settle into spacious viewing decks and lounges as sheer cliffs and wilderness glide by, and all the details are cared for to ensure a smooth experience. Then savour a two-course gourmet lunch prepared with the finest local ingredients by an exceptional onboard chef.

Afterwards, return to the skies for not one, but two alpine landings. First, touch down on a glacier to feel the crisp alpine air and capture family photos. Then continue to the rarely visited Earnslaw Burn, where waterfalls plunge from a hanging glacier. From the helicopter, sweeping views of ice fields, granite walls and deep valleys unfold in every direction, a rare vantage point that only a handful of travellers ever witness. Discover Milford Sound in an easy way, where you can focus on making memories and leave your worries behind.
