Milford Sound, the West Coast and Southern Alps in One Flight

Fiordland’s alpine peaks, glaciers, waterfalls and rugged coastline feature throughout this 75-minute helicopter flight from Glenorchy. The route crosses mountainous wilderness before following Piopiotahi Milford Sound towards the Tasman Sea, with aerial views of steep fiord walls, native rainforest and remote valleys.

Two landings reveal the contrast between coast and mountains. Time on a secluded West Coast beach is followed by an alpine landing on the return journey, with views towards the Dart River and Lake Whakatipu. Flight paths and landing locations are selected according to weather, coastal conditions and the pilot’s assessment.
