What you can expect

This fly cruise fly experience is the most time-efficient and magnificent way to experience the Fiordland National Park by both sea and sky. With a guaranteed window seat on every fixed-wing plane, the outbound trip takes you over the Mt Aspiring National Park, with an epic flyover of Milford Sound. Once boarded the Gem of the Sound for your two-hour cruise at Piopiotahi/Milford, the incredible onboard crew will share their wealth of local knowledge, help you spot wildlife from the wheelhouse or join you for a dance as the boat noses under Stirling Falls waterfall. The return flight takes you over the Fiordland National Park before touching down in Queenstown. Complimentary transfers to and from Queenstown hotels are included.
