My Wife and I booked Air Milford's fly/cruise/fly option mainly on the strength of the reviews on this site. Travelling in late April,the weather can be changeable,but the team at Air Milford kept us fully up to date as to whether the flight would go ahead. Once the decision to fly had been made,a taxi was despatched to our accommodation... more

We went on a mostly sunny day in early February. We chose to go the morning of, as the day before was rainy. Just as all the commentaries state: the weather in Milford can change in literally minutes time. We went with Air Milford because of the 10% discount we found in a local brochure and ended up being very... more

My girlfriend and I took the incredible flight from Queenstown to the Millford Sound with Hank as our pilot in the Cessna Caravan. This is a trip that pictures can't really do justice! The scenery was incredible, and we both agreed that this was our favorite day of our entire NZ trip! As a pilot myself, I wanted to make... more

We took Air Milford because of its favorable review in TripAdvisor. Our travel agent had already booked us on another carrier, so we had her change it. Michael was our pilot. Hank is the owner. Both were friendly and helpful The views were spectacular! Michael took us through the lowest passes coming back, and that was good for my stomach... more

I always know when i came to Queenstown, New Zealand that i was going to fly to Milford Sound. The staff at my hotel coundnt speak highly enough of Air Milford. They have the biggest planes and really give you a personal experience. We all had window seats on the plane and reserved seating on the cruising boat with Morning... more

-- Great trip, Hank, the owner of the company was great on the phone and suggested to go a day earlier than we were planning to take advantage of the good weather forecast...turned out to be great advice as the weather that day was stunning. Apparently there is a pretty tight window of when they can fly out of MIlford....roughtly... more

One of the best things we did during our visit to Queenstown! I am a very timid flyer, to say the least. However, I was convinced to try out a fly-cruise-fly to Milford Sound on a clear, May morning. It was probably one of the best experiences I have ever had. I felt very safe with our competent and friendly... more

We booked Air Milford fly/cruise/fly after reading a recommendation on Trip Advisor. It's brilliant. We were picked up from our hotel and taken to the airfield. Tiny plane, just Mike the pilot, husband and me, headphones on, pilot chatting to us as we flew, telling us about the area as we flew over. He took us one way out and... more

There are a number of flightseeing operators based in Queenstown. I selected Air Milford from the reviews posted on its website, even though it is a bit smaller than some of the other operators. Overall, my wife and I were extremely impressed with this company. Our pilot, Chris, was extremely professional, knowledgable and friendly. I had reserved the Milford Sound... more

We booked their Fly-Cruise-Fly from Queenstown to Milford Sound and back. The flight was perfect, in part to the 150 mile visibility and smooth ride conditions. We are nervous flyers but not in the usual sense. We are both airplane pilots and I have over 10,000 hours. I own an aviation maintenance business to boot. This company is owned by... more
