The morning of our trip was windy and overcast in Wanaka and was canceled due to weather in Milford Sound. That afternoon the weather cleared up and they were trying to reschedule our flight for 2:00pm but it was cancelled too stating weather conditions were bad in Milford Sound. The next day we booked another boat cruise & drove the 10 hour roundtrip there only to find out from boat crew, that the weather had been a perfectly beautiful day the afternoon of cancellation. So we missed a beautiful afternoon and spent the following in the rain.

The scenery of Mount Aspiring National Park is amazing when seen from above. The combo of flying to Milford Sound, then doing the milford Sound Cruise, and then flying back via different path is greater than great!

Amazing views on the flight to Milford Sound. What a way to experience Fjordland without the long, busy drive. The fjord cruise was also excellent, but the flight in and out of Milford Sound from Wanaka was amazing. Highly recommend! Southern Alps Air and our pilot Winston were great.

This was such a cool flight! Hamish is a skilled and safe pilot. He did an excellent job providing an amazing experience. We couldn’t stop talking about what an amazing flight we had. Everything was stunning and the boat cruise was very family friendly. The communications via email through La Vacanza Travel left a lot to be desired. Hopefully they work on that, the experience itself was fantastic. FYI - they will only fly under visual flight rules, not IFR. This means if the weather is bad you will need to reschedule. Try to book an afternoon flight because the clouds lifted through the day while we were there around Christmas. Also if your flight does get cancelled, know that it is for your safety. It’s a great pilot who decides to stay on the ground when weather looks marginal. Sign up for this! It was awesome!!!!
