Flight Overview
Queenstown to Milford Sound Helicopter Tour
Discover the ultimate way to experience Fiordland with Over The Top’s Queenstown to Milford Sound helicopter tour. Over the years, our highly skilled pilots have uncovered some of the most breathtaking locations in Milford Sound, and this spectacular journey showcases the very best of them.
Your Scenic Helicopter Ride from Queenstown to Milford Sound
Your adventure begins at Queenstown airport, lifting off in one of our safe and luxurious Queenstown helicopters. Soar above the dramatic, snow‑capped Southern Alps as you journey towards the world‑renowned Milford Sound. Sit back and enjoy the incredible views of thick green rainforests, sweeping blue waters, and sunlight glistening off cascading waterfalls, as your helicopter ride from Queenstown to Milford Sound takes you deep into Milford's natural wonders. Your experienced local pilot will point out interesting landmarks, sharing stories and information about the region during your journey.
Remote West Coast and Alpine Glacier Landings
Your Milford and Fiordland highlights tour offers a rare opportunity for two exclusive heli landings - opportunities for you to experience and appreciate these incredible locations, unrushed and uncrowded.
At the point where Milford Sound meets the Tasman Sea, your helicopter turns north to land on a secluded West Coast beach. Here, you’ll have time for a stroll along the shoreline, taking in the wild beauty and perhaps spotting the playful antics of nearby seal colonies.
From the coast, your helicopter continues inland to the magnificent glacier regions of the Southern Alps. Step out onto high alpine terrain, breathe in the alpine air, and capture unforgettable photos in this magical environment.
Your Return Flight Over Alpine Lakes to Queenstown
Your return flight from the glacier areas sweeps high above sparkling alpine lakes and winding rivers before descending over Lake Wakatipu and back to our Queenstown helibase. Every moment of this journey is designed to highlight the beauty of Fiordland and the Southern Alps from above.
This is our founder Choppy’s favourite tour — and one you’ll never forget.
