The Milford Sound Extraordinaire with Helicopter Flyback combines our signature guided Milford Sound experience with an unforgettable scenic flight across Fiordland.

Your day begins with pickup from central Te Anau accommodation before travelling in a comfortable small-group vehicle through Fiordland National Park. Along the way, your local guide will share stories about the region and stop at some of the best scenic locations along the Milford Road.

Depending on the weather and conditions, the journey may include optional short walks, photo stops and a home-baked-style morning tea surrounded by Fiordland’s dramatic landscapes.

Once you arrive in Milford Sound, you will board a small-group vessel for a 1-hour-45-minute nature cruise. Travel beneath towering peaks, approach cascading waterfalls and look out for native wildlife such as seals, dolphins and Fiordland crested penguins. A picnic lunch is included for you to enjoy during the experience.

After exploring Milford Sound by water, board your helicopter for the return flight to Te Anau. The scenic flight offers a completely different perspective of Fiordland, with breathtaking views of remote valleys, alpine peaks, lakes and untouched wilderness.

This experience is ideal for travellers who want to see Milford Sound from every angle while avoiding the return journey by road.
