New Zealand's isolation by the seas has protected it from browsing and predatory animals for the last 60-80 million years. Our plant life is unique and forest trees and plants continue to flourish here, many of which have died out in other countries.
Air Milford Ltd flies Queenstown's visitors to some of New Zealand's most beautiful eco friendly areas, which feature prolific flora and fauna.
At Milford Sound, a short flight from Queenstown, guests will often see the Fiordland Crested Penguin, Bottle Nose Dolphins, Dusky Dolphins and off the rugged coastline sometimes the rare Hector Dolphin. Guests fly over and also have the opportunity for a short walk in native beech forest and sub tropical rain forest.
Joining our tour to the Catlins guests have the exciting opportunity to view a petrified beech forest, fur seals, and dolphins. For visitors to the region in summer they may also be treated to the beautiful Rata (southern version of New Zealand's Pohutakawa). Bellbirds, fantails, albatross, royal spoonbills, petrels and sooty shearwaters all make this beautiful and secluded Catlins region home.
The remote Doubtful Sound 3 area features towering mountains; deep fiords and limited visitors to the area. The silence guests experience is broken only by the talk of native birds. Whilst cruising on the fiord visitors are delighted by dolphins, seas and sometimes penguins.
