Depart Te Anau to explore Fiordland's untouched West Coast. Discover the rugged beauty of Dusky Sound, Campbell's Kingdom, and Doubtful Sound.
Journey deep into the remote southern reaches of Fiordland National Park on an unforgettable scenic helicopter flight over Doubtful and Dusky Sounds. Vast, rugged and remarkably untouched, these spectacular fiords offer a rare glimpse into one of New Zealand’s most isolated wilderness regions.
From the air, discover a dramatic landscape shaped by ancient glaciers, with scattered islands, winding waterways, hidden coves and towering mountains stretching towards the wild West Coast. Fly through the breathtaking Campbell’s Kingdom, a hidden hanging valley surrounded by some of Fiordland’s most dramatic alpine scenery, before continuing over the South Arm of Lake Te Anau.
As you venture towards Dusky Sound, experience the extraordinary contrast where rugged mountains meet the open Tasman Sea. Watch waves crash against granite coastline and explore a landscape where there are few signs of human presence.
Regarded as one of our signature scenic routes, the Doubtful & Dusky Sound flight is highly recommended by our pilots and guests alike. With two wilderness landings included, this is an opportunity to step beyond the usual sightseeing experience and truly immerse yourself in the remote beauty of Fiordland.
