Overview Signature Extended Scenic Flight Into Fiordland’s Iconic Fiord
Discover the spectacular northern reaches of Fiordland on an unforgettable, extended helicopter journey to the iconic Milford Sound. Fly north over the vast waters of Lake Te Anau before entering the rugged wilderness of Fiordland National Park. Soar above dramatic valleys, towering peaks, and ancient glacial landscapes as Milford Sound comes into view - one of New Zealand’s most extraordinary natural wonders, famously described by Rudyard Kipling as the “Eighth Wonder of the World.”
From above, take in some of Fiordland’s most iconic landmarks, including the mighty Sutherland Falls, distinctive Mitre Peak, and the surrounding ice-carved mountains. Your extended flight includes two wilderness landings, giving you multiple opportunities to step out into this remote landscape, breathe the crisp alpine air, and truly experience the scale and silence of Fiordland for yourself. On your return, enjoy the additional flight time as you glide along the Murchison Mountains, an important conservation area and stronghold for the endangered takahē.
This spectacular journey combines Fiordland’s iconic scenery with the rare opportunity to experience its untouched wilderness extensively from the air and on the ground.
