Experience unimpaired views from your window seat onboard our fixed-wing aircraft as you fly through a landscape of unbelievable grandeur and beauty.
Your knowledgeable, highly skilled local pilot will provide interesting and informative commentary during this 80-minute flight of a lifetime.
Departing from Queenstown Airport enjoy panoramic views of Lake Wakatipu and glacier-fed braided rivers as you fly along the Dart River Valley. With endless snow-covered mountains, the Olivine Ice Plateau, Mt. Tutoko and the Tutoko Glacier just some of the incredible highlights along the way.
The breath-taking scenery continues into Fiordland National Park, out over the rugged West Coast and the Tasman Sea before a quick U-turn descending into Milford Sound itself. Flying down the middle of the Fiord, with the dramatic sheer mountains either side, aerial views of the cascading Stirling Falls, you'll almost feel like you are, not literally, in touching distance from Mitre Peak.

Amazing flight piloted by Megan. The scenery is just breath taking. No photos can do justice to the views. Don't think about it, just book it

I took a bus tour to Milford Sound and decided to fly from Milford Sound back to Queenstown. Flight was organised with no fuss by my tour guide and I flew with Dean on Glenorchy air. It was a beautiful day and an incredible, scenic and smooth flight back. I must say I was a bit nervous flying in a small plane but it was wonderful. We were picked up by the very nice Perky at the airport and taken to our hotels. Very well organised.

Perfect way to end a fantastic day sightseeing at Milford Sound. Our pilot Jim, was waiting for us at the terminal at Milford and was super friendly and helpful with everything! After he gave us a brief safety briefing and loaded us into the plane he flew with expert precision and ensured that everyone could see something spectacular. His commentary during the flight was helpful and informative. The scenery on the route he took was amazing, flying over Milford Sound, over Henry tunnel and ever over a glacier. After landing in Queenstown the ground crew was cheery and helpful at getting us onto out waiting transport back to the cbd. Our driver Perky was funny and entertaining.
Overall a 10/10 experience and one I will always recommend to everyone.

Absolutely amazing! Staff were super friendly, pilot (Jim) was equally informative, funny, and I felt safe the entire time we were in the air. Perky then drove us safely through the Queenstown traffic to town, providing recommendations and answering the questions along the way. Milford Sound is a must do if costing Queenstown and you should absolutely go with Glenorchy Air!

The whole flight was fabulous. Wil was a great pilot, narrator, tour guide, historian, and geologist! We got to see much more than we expected - glaciers, rivers, lakes, Tasman Sea, mountains, fault line, oh and the Milford Sound!

Nice flight, pilot was kind and very experienced on the history of the different places we were flying over. Beautiful, clear day for flying and we even got to land in Milford to pick some people. Very recommended experience.

This has been the highlight of my trip to New Zealand. The views from the flight were breath taking and our pilot, Jim, was very informative and calm throughout the flight which helped to calm our nerves. Definitely worth the money and would definitely do it again! Amazing!
