This trip was a big bummer for Christmas Day. They called us at 10am to tell us the cruise portion of the tour would be cancelled because they deemed it was “bad weather to land at Milford sound” (note the weather was crystal clear and beautiful when we got there). We decided to book this tour because we didn’t want to drive 8 hours round trip from Queenstown since we were driving up to Auckland the following days. My advice is to not book this tour, and just suck it up and do the drive instead. If they had told us earlier this was cancelled, we could’ve started the drive (we had a rental car after all) over to Milford sound early morning. Instead, they waited until the middle of the day to cancel our tour so it was too late to make alternative plans. By the way, the weather was crystal clear at Milford sound and would’ve made a very smooth landing. The weather forecast was also clear in Queenstown, and partly cloudy in Milford sound, all day. They offered us the “flight only” option saying we would get a partial refund. The tour went from 5.5 hours as originally promised, to just 1.25 hours. We had no backup plans for Christmas Day since everything was closed. We had been banking on this and if we know we wouldn’t get to see Milford sound we would’ve made Christmas Day a travel / drive day since nothing needed to be open. We also assumed we would get a fair partial refund, but instead Viator gave us $100 off our $800 booking (!!!!). I paid less for my commercial flight from Sydney to Queenstown. They should be ashamed of themselves. I contacted TripAdvisor / viator to make this right and they haven’t even responded yet. The operator also said the fly option would be 1.5 hours EACH WAY. When we got there we found out the entire tour was 1.25 hours (our original tour was 5.5 hours). Anyway, they really ruined Christmas for our family this year and clearly don’t care. The pilot was nice and I know it’s not his fault. We took pictures of the clear, open runway we could see from the plane as well as multiple boats cruising around milford sound in the idyllic picture perfect weather. We were desperately wishing we could be down there with them instead of stuck on this chore of a flight that literally was not much different than our Air New Zealand flight to Queenstown. Do yourself a favor and DRIVE to Milford sound on your own and don’t book this excursion. Waste of time, money, and major disappointment. The least they could do was make it right.

This was an amazing experience! Flying over the Alps and fjords, seeing the amazing scenery and then the cruise on Milford Sound was a very incredible trip. It was exactly as described and I highly recommend doing this once in a lifetime experience.

An amazing trip to Milford Sound starting with the customer service team who contacted us to recommend changing our date due to weather. 100% the right decision and the result a stunning flight and trip to Milford. Our pilot Liam was brilliant, and the trip with Mitre Peaks was excellent maximising photo oops. One of the highlights of our trip and memories to savour.

Milford Sound Scenic Flights Fly-Cruise-Fly was a great choice for us. Weather was wonderful for us. Big thanks to Dhaval, our pilot, who was welcoming, provided great commentary and ensured a safe, comfortable trip. Mitre Peak cruise was informative and we were lucky enough to see thee Fiordland Penguins - bonus!

Absolutely fantastic and would highly recommend. We would highly recommend, we were well looked after and both the flight and cruise were equally as amazing. A much shorter trip than driving and if you can, I would suggest doing this over the 8hour return trip. Our pilot was great and made sure we all had a great time.

Wow! What a great experience! We had originally booked for December 2, but a few days before the weather said 90% chance of rain but December 1 looked really good. We were lucky that they still had available seats to change our booking because we ended up going on an absolutely beautiful day. Fiordland National Park is such a huge and remote area that is not easily navigable or viewable by land. We did the fly/cruise/fly package and were able to see it (not all of course) from the sky as well as from ground level in the cruise. It's definitely the way to go, and it saved us probably 5-6 hours of driving as we originally planned to go there driving from Te Anau.
Our flight took us from Queenstown over the Wakatipu river and through/over the mountains to land at Milford Sound. There were many beautiful sights to see along the way from snowcapped peaks to beautiful valleys. Our pilot was also our tour guide, narrating the things that we passed, and we could clearly hear him through our headphones. The windows of the plane are large and clean, so we were able to get a lot of great pictures.
The Mitre Peak Cruises boat had 2 levels, and you could choose to stay inside, protected from the wind and or water spray, or you could go out on deck to take pictures. We took Milford Sound all the way out to the Tasman Sea and back. We stopped by a couple of beautiful waterfalls, including the 2nd tallest in Fiordland Park, 146m, almost 3x taller than Niagara Falls. Our boat got very close so you could look up into the falls if you were brave enough to be out with the water spray.
Overall, we couldn't recommend this tour more. In retrospect, we'd have skipped the stop at Te Anau entirely since we ended up seeing Milford Sound through this tour.

The whole trip was very well organised. We had a beautiful day, clear skies, so the scenery was breathtaking. The cruise was really relaxing and again the scenery was just fabulous. We saw sealant and penguins, waterfalls. Only coffee and tea on board and as we went from plane to boat to plane, I would suggest taking some supplies with you. But absolutely a must.
