What you can expect

One of the only scenic flight companies ex. Queenstown to showcase some of Mt Aspiring & Fiordland National Parks largest Glaciers. These include the Rob Roy, Bonar, Jura, Volta, Dart, Olivine, and Donne Glaciers among many others and of course, Milford Sound itself. Each tour is guaranteed to see at least five major glaciers, these are kiwi secrets that have been reserved to advanced mountaineers or a select few tourists travelling by air from Wanaka. After check-in completion, your pilot will give a thorough pre-flight briefing on the route and scenic highlights likely to be encountered. Departing from Queenstown airport, the flight path tracks north up the world famous Shotover Canyon, passing Lake Lochnagar to Mt Aspiring (tallest peak outside of the Mt Cook region at 10,000ft/3030m). New Zealand has 7 glaciers that span greater than 10 hectares, and the only one in the Southern Lakes happens to reside on the northern side of Mt Aspiring, called the Volta Glacier. This is assured to be a highlight before turning west for Milford Sound. On this next sector passengers will be mesmerised flying down ‘glacier alley’ with the Olivine Ice Plateau, a unique glacial amphitheatre. Further west toward Milford Sound we link up with our existing Milford flight path, over Mt Tutoko and the Donne & Age Glaciers, before capturing the Fiord of Milford, followed by a return flight back to Queenstown viewing the Arthur Valley & Lake Te Anau.
