ly from Queenstown airport over the Wakatipu Basin and the Shotover River heading towards Glenorchy and the head of Lake Wakatipu. Fly past the famous Earnslaw Burn Glacier and over Lake McKerrow taking in the grandeur of the Southern Alps, flying deep into the heart of Fiordland National Park. View the glaciated region of Fiordland’s tallest mountain, Mt Tutuko, and sweep the length of Milford Sound where you can take in unparalleled views of world famous Milford Sound and Mitre Peak before landing at Milford Sound airport.
Upon landing at Milford Sound you will meet your guide for the day and take a short boat ride from the Milford boat terminal to Sandfly Point to begin your walk on the Milford Track. We begin our guided walk, meandering alongside the cascading Arthur River then Lake Ada, on a well formed track. Our destination and half way point is Giant Gate waterfall. This spectacular waterfall is best viewed and photographed from the large swing bridge spanning the river and, on completion of the walk, an opportunity is made for photos at the sign marking the end of the walk, festooned with the boots of walkers that have made it to the end of the walk.
After your transfer back to the Milford boat terminal fly back over the Milford Track before having your breath taken away when you first view the 548 metre Sutherland Falls. This scenic flight will allow you to take in magnificent views of the mountains, glaciers, lakes and forests of the Fiordland national Park on your way back to Queenstown.
