We flew one way from Milford Sound to Queenstown.
Antony made everyone onboard feel very comfortable. The flight path Antony chose was smooth and incredibly scenic. Thank you for personalising our experience and for sharing your knowledge about this beautiful part of New Zealand.
We loved our spectacular flights return from Queenstown to Milford Sound.
The aircraft was beautiful, our teenagers had never flown in a Cessna Caravan - they were astonished by the flight and the scenery. Anthony was a fantastic guide and pilot, we were very impressed with Air Milford’s operations.
What you can expect
Take in Queenstown’s winter magic from a fresh angle with a relaxed, 40-minute sunset scenic flight that captures the best of golden hour. Lifting off from Queenstown Airport, this easygoing 40-minute experience sweeps you over iconic alpine scenery just as the light softens and the mountains start to glow. This is known as Queenstown's beautiful golden hour.
Glide above Coronet Peak, Cardrona and The Remarkables, spotting ski runs, lifts and dramatic ridgelines, with wide open views across the Wakatipu Basin and Lake Wakatipu. It’s a great pick for families, skiers and first-time visitors alike, whether you’re reminiscing about the slopes you have already enjoyed or getting excited for the days ahead. Along the way, friendly local pilots share insights that bring the landscape to life.
As the sun dips lower, snow-covered peaks and lakes light up in warm golden tones, making for some truly special photos and a memorable end to your day. It’s a simple, feel-good addition to any Queenstown trip, perfect as a gentle introduction or a highlight to wrap up your winter getaway.

Getting to witness the beauty and splendor of God's creation through the window seat of Air Milford's plane was a joy that I will continually look back on and treasure. The heavens declare, indeed!
Equally valuable to me was the warmth and generosity exuded by the staff. Antony was a kind and knowledgeable guide as he piloted us, and the whole experience, from the lobby to the return landing, felt like there was so much care put into it. Thank you for the wonderful opportunity to see and experience it all, I couldn't recommend it highly enough.
