Take to the skies on a 75-minute helicopter flight from Queenstown, soaring over Lake Wakatipu and the Richardson Mountains before descending into the heart of Milford Sound. Take in sweeping views of Mitre Peak, waterfalls, lakes, sheer cliffs and glacier-carved fjords, with a remote alpine landing if conditions allow. On the return, fly through the Hollyford Valley past native forest, hidden alpine lakes and cascading waterfalls – proof that the journey really is the destination.
