Walking the Milford Track is an experience that stays with you for life. What better way to build on these memories than with a scenic flight back over the track at the end of your journey?

Often described as “the finest walk in the world,” the 53-kilometre Milford Track takes walkers deep into New Zealand’s most dramatic landscapes. A scenic flight at the end of the journey is a common-sense choice for many: it avoids the energy-sapping five-hour coach ride back to Queenstown while giving you the chance to see, from above, the valleys, passes, and waterfalls you’ve just explored on foot.

Highlights.

Glide over Sutherland Waterfalls, one of New Zealand’s tallest and most iconic waterfalls.
Soar above McKinnon Pass and admire sweeping alpine vistas.
See Glade House and Lake Te Anau from a unique aerial perspective.
Enjoy a 40-minute scenic flight back to Queenstown with drop-off at your accommodation.
