Ein großartiges Erlebnis
Wir haben einen super Tag erwischt mit Sonne pur, toller Sicht auf die Berge, die Gletscher und natürlich den Milford Sound. Sehr freundlicher Pilot und Guide. Hat viel erklärt. Sehr kleine Gruppe im Flugzeug und auf dem Schiff machten den sonst recht überlaufenen Platz zu einem fast privaten Erlebnis. Nach meiner Erfahrung die beste Art diese grandiose Gegend zu erleben

Thank you for reviewing your Milford Sound Glacier Flight and Cruise. We are delighted that you really enjoyed your experience. Our pilots are great hosts and enjoy immensely the people they are able to meet and share this spectacular part of the world with. At times there are quite a few people visiting Milford Sound at the same time but as you have conveyed, if you choose the fly-cruise-fly option to visit Milford Sound this does not deter from the amazing experience. Safe travels, Regards, Anne.

Simply breath taking highly recommended!
Amazing experience highly recommended if you have the extra cash! Great commentary from the pilot as well and great service! Cruise was fantastic too but the flight is just stunning.

An incredible experience - one we won’t forget!
Once we had the go ahead to fly (due to cloud in Milford Sound) we took off on our 9 seater plane with Southern Alps Air. Flying over Lake Wanaka gave us a glorious view of the whole lake. We soon were over snow capped mountain peaks, glaciers, valleys, lakes and rivers, the views were outstanding…we could see range after range of the Southern Alps and Mt Aspiring standing guard. Henry, our pilot gave us a great commentary pointing out the names of the mountains, lakes and valleys as we passed, giving us a little history along the way. As we dropped down through Milford Sound to land we realised just how small we were in comparison to the giant mountains around us. The Cruise on the Milford Sound (with Southern Discoveries) was stunning! The sun shone, there were some atmospheric clouds. Mitre Peak welcoming us into the fjord with what seemed like vertical walls of rock. The waterfalls dropped majestically from great heights and we even saw dolphins swimming along the cliff edges. The return flight (via a different route) was fabulous too!

Thank you so much for your feedback Lynne! We are so happy you were able to experience the beautiful surroundings of all the Glaciers, Valleys, Lakes and Milford itself. We are thrilled to hear that you loved your experience with us, we wish you all the best with your future travels and would love to have you on board with us again, SSA team!
