Fiordland Scenery and an Alpine Landing from Glenorchy or Queenstown

Northern Fiordland’s native beech forests, hidden alpine lakes and glacier-shaped peaks unfold beneath this 50-minute helicopter flight from Glenorchy. The route continues towards Piopiotahi Milford Sound, with aerial views of steep fiord walls, cascading waterfalls, Mitre Peak and the surrounding wilderness.

One remote alpine landing provides time outside the helicopter to take in the mountain setting and capture photographs. The exact flight path and landing location are selected by the pilot according to the day’s weather and alpine conditions, with the return journey offering further views across the Humboldt Range and Fiordland National Park.
