Scenic Wonders Above Fiordland

Flying from Glenorchy, just outside Queenstown, you’ll be treated to stunning aerial views that reveal the scale and majesty of Fiordland. Lake Erskine glistens beneath the wings as you head deeper into this world-famous wilderness. The highlight is the spectacular Sutherland Falls, tumbling dramatically as New Zealand’s tallest waterfall.

Your flight continues across the Milford Track, with ancient forests and deep valleys unfolding beneath you. As you glide down Milford Sound, the grandeur of sheer cliffs and waterways becomes even more impressive. A remote landing on the wild West Coast offers a moment to breathe in the sea air and take in nature’s serenity.

The experience feels both peaceful and exhilarating, perfectly capturing the spirit of New Zealand’s South Island. With complimentary transfers from Queenstown, this is an effortless yet unforgettable way to enjoy Fiordland’s raw beauty.
