Flying to Milford Sound New Zealand
Join us on this magical trip from Queenstown to Milford Sound on the beautiful South Island of New Zealand flying through magnificent snow topped mountains. Then a boat cruise on the fjord.
Flight from Queenstown to Milford Sound, NZ
Early June 2014 I flew from Queenstown to Milford Sound, New Zealand, in a Cessna 172R
It was a late afternoon flight, with us being the last aircraft to leave Milford Sound in order to make it back in time with the curfew at Queenstown Airport.
Milford Sound is definitely the MOST beautiful place I have ever flown into and this video gives you a taste of what it is like

No matter the weather, rain or shine, don’t skip out on a scenic flight above Milford Sound in a helicopter! The Milford Sound will leave you speechless. The famous author of The Jungle Book, Rudyard Kipling, refers it as the 'Eighth Wonder of the World.'
Nothing puts things into perspective like hovering between mountains so high that no matter how you peer your head up, you can’t see the tops, from inside a helicopter!
All sights blew me away. One of the best helicopter rides! Thanks for hosting me and can I take a second flight with you someday, Over The Top - The Helicopter Company? ????
MILFORD SOUND, NZ | glass top bus, scenic nature cruise, flight over the mountains!
♥ Wednesday, October 26, 2016 - On our first official day of tourist-ing, we woke up at the crack of dawn to take a really long scenic bus trip from Queenstown to Milford Sound. On the way, we saw a peak of the actual Misty Mountains from Lord of the Rings! At Milford Sound, we took a scenic nature cruise. Lastly, we flew back to Queenstown (about a 1/2 hr flight versus the 3.5 hr bus ride!). We were really fortunate to have fantastic weather for our cruise -- we hear that two out of three days, it rains! I would still highly recommend visiting Milford Sound regardless - it is stunningly beautiful!
··· A FEW MORE DETAILS ···
Our trip was from Sunday, October 23, 2016 to Sunday, November 13, 2016. So 22 days in total, with a good chunk of those days being in transit days.

Te Anau and Milford Sound | Day Trip | New Zealand (HD)
Te Anau is a town on the South Island of New Zealand (172 KM from Queenstown). It’s known as a gateway to Fiordland National Park and Milford Sound. Te Anau Caves feature a limestone grotto of Glowworms and an underground waterfall (Real Journeys run 1 hour tour to Glow-warm cave).
Milford Sound is an inlet (sound) in the southwest of New Zealand’s South Island (285 KM from Queenstown and 118 KM from Te Anau). The drive from Te Anau to Milford Sound is very beautiful. Eglington Valley, Mirror Lake, The Divide, Monkey Creek, Homer Tunnel are few of the attractions on the way to Milford Sound. Beautiful mountain ranges with glacier at the peak are both side of the road.
The beauty of Milford Sound doesn’t have any word. This is my little afford to showcase the trip from Queenstown to Milford Sound via Te Anau.

MILFORD SOUND CRUISE with Real Journeys - Queenstown to Milford Sound
Today, I went on an incredible journey to Milford Sound, New Zealand. Originally, I wanted to rent a car to go there for a Milford Sound Cruise, but that would have been a long drive from Queenstown and I just didn't want to do it myself.
So I asked my hotel to book me on the best bus they knew of. And I am SO glad they did!
Milford Sound really makes you feel tiny. Even the drive down from Queenstown is amazing. I told out driver along the way that it was so impressive, I'd feel like I got my money's worth even if we didn't make it to Milford Sound.
I took my trip with Real Journeys and it was about $200 NZD. The driver was fantastic! He narrated the trip the whole way down, using personal experiences to paint a picture of the history of Fiordlands National Park. He was amazing.
Can't recommend Real Journeys highly enough. I'm not one for bus tours, but this one was really worth it, in my opinion.
You can read more about that experience here
And sorry about the sound in some places. The wind was really blowing hard. And while I have a great microphone, I don't think the windscreen was attached properly. Still, it's pretty great!

Te Anau town, Bus trip to Milford sound
Bus trip to Milford sound, New Zealand
It was our third day in Queenstown, we planned to visit Milford sound. Milford sound is one of most beautiful and iconic places in New Zealand. It is the wettest place in NZ, and it rains for about 200 days a year.
We got up early and caught the coach at 7am. It tool five and a half hours to get there, on the way the driver stopped by some locations and allowed us to take pictures. The driver is very friendly and provides a lot of information..
The cruise to the Milford sound is one hour and forty five minutes. The weather was raining but because of this, more waterfalls formed so the sight was spectacular. The boat went underneath the waterfall and we got really wet. This was an unforgettable trip to Milford Sound.
The information below is from the website
Situated on the west coast of the South Island, Milford Sound is a fusion of spectacular natural features with amazing visual cues around every corner.'
Described by Rudyard Kipling as the 'eighth wonder of the world', Milford Sound was carved by glaciers during the ice ages. Breathtaking in any weather, the fiord's cliffs rise vertically from the dark waters, mountain peaks scrape the sky and waterfalls cascade downwards from as high as 1000 metres. When it rains in Milford Sound, and it often does, those waterfalls multiply with magnificent effect.

Milford Sound Encounter Nature Cruise, South Island, New Zealand
This video is about my day trip from Queenstown to Milford Sound in 2013. We took the Milford Sound Encounter Nature Cruise around lunch time on that day. Took off around 7am in the morning and got back to Queenstown after 8pm at night, it was a long day's drive but it is worth it. The scenery along the way is amazing and it makes you forget about the time. The cruise is a must take in the South Island. Apart from the breathtaking amazing mountains, you can also see some wildlife, have the chance to taste the 100% pure and real spring water! The best water I have ever tasted so far!
