Heli Glenorchy Milford Sound Flights

Scenic Helicopter Tours Over Fiordland’s Most Iconic Landscapes

Discover the magic of Fiordland from the sky with Heli Glenorchy Milford Sound Flights. Departing from the Glenorchy Airstrip — just a 45-minute drive from Queenstown — these helicopter adventures offer sweeping views of the Southern Alps, ancient glaciers, and the wild beauty of Fiordland National Park. From lift-off, you’re treated to awe-inspiring vistas that few get to witness.

The Milford Panoramic flight is a 50-minute experience that showcases the stunning geography of Milford Sound. From above, you'll spot legendary sights like Mitre Peak and the fiord’s spectacular waterfalls. The highlight? An alpine landing that lets you step out and breathe in the pure alpine air, surrounded by snow-dusted peaks and serene silence.

Combine Scenic Flying with a Peaceful Fiordland Cruise

For a more immersive experience, the Heli-Cruise-Heli package blends the best of air and water. Your day begins with a flight over the Richardson Mountains before descending into Milford Sound to board a relaxing cruise across the calm, reflective waters of the fiord. Wildlife lovers may catch glimpses of dolphins, fur seals, or the elusive Fiordland crested penguin.

After the cruise, the return flight includes a spectacular snow landing high on the Upper Humboldt Range. From this elevated vantage point, you’ll enjoy panoramic views of Lake Wakatipu, the Dart River, and the vast, untouched alpine scenery that makes this region so special. It’s an unforgettable way to explore one of New Zealand’s most iconic destinations.
