Air Fiordland Introduction

It's simply World Famous—you just have to do it!

Air Fiordland offers scenic flights to Fiordland's iconic Milford Sound. We offer daily scenic flight services and Fiordland air charters from Queenstown and Lake Te Anau to Milford and Doubtful Sounds and the Glaciers as well as flight and jet boat, and flight and coach, combo trips.

Every seat is a window seat from which to view the beauty of Fiordland's snow capped mountains, waterfalls, and ancient forests.

With a fleet of Cessna Aircraft, Air Fiordland has been operating for more than 20 years, and has a wealth of knowledge about the region to share with you.

It took millions of years for nature to create the towering mountains and for the glaciers to carve its deep fiords. It will take you only a few hours to enjoy this magnificent scenery with one of our many Fiordland air charters.

Fiordland's spectacular waterfalls are fed by a high average rainfall. We recommend you book on your first available fine day to ensure you do not miss out on one of life's unique experiences.

Contact our experienced team with your scenic flight request, and we will make all the necessary arrangements for you. Courtesy transport to and from the Airport to your hotel is provided.
