Air Milford proudly provides hikers with exclusive aerial access to Fiordland’s iconic Great Walks — Milford, Kepler, and Routeburn Tracks. Departing from Queenstown, our scenic flights deliver unforgettable views of New Zealand’s pristine wilderness, making your hiking adventure even more extraordinary.
Walking the Kepler, Routeburn, or Milford Track is a once-in-a-lifetime experience for many adventurers. Why not enhance your Great Walks journey by flying in or out, taking in spectacular aerial views of the mountains, valleys, and rivers you’ve explored?
Air Milford is the only operator offering exclusive flight connections in partnership with DOC and Trips & Tramps. Our Te Anau Downs airstrip, located directly on the Milford Road, allows hikers to conveniently begin or end any of these iconic tracks.
Whether you’re starting your hike fresh or finishing your trek, our scenic flights provide a unique perspective on Fiordland’s wilderness, letting you revisit your route from the air and celebrate your achievements in style.
Each flight offers breathtaking aerial highlights, including rugged peaks, deep valleys, and sparkling lakes. Combined with the convenience of our Te Anau landing, it’s the perfect way to maximize your Great Walks adventure while enjoying the comfort and reliability only Air Milford can provide.

Pre track briefing at a DOC office is no longer a requirement. However Air Milford strongly advise that you call ahead to the nearest DOC office for a weather update.
While we are unable to organise shuttle transfers to the start of your Great Walk, we can instead assist by referring you to the best coach companies if needed.
