Top peak experiences in life! A short list! - Truly a peak experience!! Henry, our pilot, was wonderful, warm, and informative! It happened to be a blue sky day so both the flight over mountains and glaciers, and the boat ride in Milford Sound were stunning!

Wonderful, once in a lifetime experience. - We had an amazing once in a lifetime experience. It was our first time on a small plane but pilot from Southern Alps ensured a smooth landing. He also guided us to the cruise and made it absolutely hassle free. He was also kind enough to pose with my aviation savvy son ! We had seniors and children in our group and everyone thoroughly enjoyed this tour. Also felt the tour is cost effective in comparison to the other 20 min scenic flights. If not for this flight, visiting Milford would have taken a full day on the bus and it’s very difficult when travelling with seniors and children

Absolutely wonderful - This was an absolutely wonderful trip in a small group setting flying up the valleys between the mountains - you felt as though you could reach out and touch them. The pilot was really friendly and knowledgeable, but don’t try and pronounce some of the names of places..
