‘Fly Fiordland’ and see places only accessible by air; this stunning flight takes you from sea level to lofty mountain peaks and promises to be the highlight of any New Zealand holiday.

Weaving in three of Fiordland’s best wilderness destinations – Tamatea / Dusky Sound, Patea / Doubtful Sound, and iconic Piopiotahi / Milford Sound – this is our premier heli-flight experience and includes three landings.

Tamatea / Dusky Sound is one of our most remote and longest fiords. Dotted with 350 small islands, it’s only accessible by air or by boat.

Patea / Doubtful Sound has an incredible serenity, fly over Crooked Arm along with several of the fiord’s most impressive waterfalls. 

Piopiotahi / Milford Sound is iconic and was once called the eighth wonder of the natural world. From the air, it’s easy to see why. The Pembroke Glacier, the Sutherland Falls, and Mitre Peak all look more beautiful from above.

Landings: Three wilderness locations:

•    Elizabeth Peak, Patea / Doubtful Sound
•    Lake Quill, the headwaters of Milford Sound’s Sutherland Falls, is one of the highest waterfalls in the Southern Hemisphere.
•    Mt Pender, Tamatea / Dusky Sound
