Description
Fly over Milford Sound on a helicopter tour from Te Anau. Admire the iconic Mitre Peak, the majestic Sutherland Falls, and the breathtaking vistas of Lake Te Anau.
Choose a start time that suits your schedule, then transfer from your accommodation to the base at the Te Anau - Manapouri airport. On arrival, complete the necessary paperwork and listen carefully during the safety briefing. Take a seat in your helicopter and put your headset on before taking to the skies with one of the experienced pilots.
Prepare to be utterly captivated by the stunning beauty of Milford Sound. As the most renowned fiord in Fiordland National Park, your flight offers breathtaking vistas from the outset. First, glide gracefully over the magnificent expanse of Lake Te Anau, with its shimmering waters and the charming township nestled at its edge.
To the north of the lake, gaze down upon the world-famous Milford Track, a ribbon of trail that winds through the rugged landscape, and the ancient, glacially carved valleys that tell tales of epochs long past. These natural wonders lead you to the eighth wonder of the world, Piopiotahi Milford Sound.
Marvel at the iconic silhouette of Mitre Peak rising dramatically from the water, the majestic Sutherland Falls cascading down in a spectacular show (being the tallest waterfall in New Zealand), and the famed Arthur Valley stretching out in a serene vista. An array of waterfalls adds to the enchanting scene, all while you soak in the splendor of Milford Sound in its full glory, a masterpiece of nature's artistry.
When your flight comes to an end, transfer back to your accommodation in Te Anau to conclude your tour.
