Experience of a Lifetime!

Kim_N, Aug 2025

While we couldn’t snowmobile due to the lack of snow, the tour company offered a helicopter/Milford Sound experience that was over the top! Professional, engaging and well worth the money, I highly recommend this tour when touring a sound. We also stopped at a glacier covered mountain and took pictures of the incredible view. The staff was very accommodating and responsive with every inquiry.

We had an awesome trip from booking...

Lesley H, Sep 2017

We had an awesome trip from booking through to being returned to our accommodation at the end of our trip. Our transport to and from was friendly and professional and the staff couldn't have been more welcoming. We were quickly checked in, given safety briefings then introduced to our knowledgeable pilot. The flight was amazing and when we arrived at the base we were dressed in warm outfits and boots. With a great local guide who catered to all levels of ability we whizzed over the pristine snow, marveling at the mountain beauty. Thank you to all who contributed to a perfect Queenstown experience.
