Perfected over the years, our Milford Ultimate heli tour is the trip of a lifetime.
Often described as 'the most scenic flight in the world', a Queenstown helicopter flight to Milford Sound is a true bucket list experience, and we want you to make the most of it! Relaxed and unhurried, our ultimate Milford Sound helicopter tours allow plenty of time and space for you to enjoy each incredible environment on your tour.
Departing from our Queenstown helicopter base, we fly west over the high country peaks of Queenstown towards the ‘Main Divide’ of the Southern Alps and into the World Heritage-listed Fiordland National Park. The scenery unfolds dramatically before you as vast glacier-carved valleys spill toward the sea, thick with primeval beech forests.
Our Milford Sound helicopter tour includes four helicopter landings at diverse and pristine locations. You'll land at an alpine lake to explore and taste the pure water. Glide between misty waterfalls and over the glittering waterways of Milford Sound, watching for pods of dolphins before alighting at the edge of a coastal rainforest.
Leave your footprints in the sand of uninhabited West Coast beaches, and smell the fresh salty air. Witness slow moving glaciers high in the Alps, marveling at their ever-changing blue ice formations and caves. At each landing site, the helicopter will shut down for you to enjoy the quiet sound of these natural treasures. Perhaps a curious Kea, New Zealand’s native parrot, will drop in to say hello.
Our ultimate Milford Sound helicopter tour from Queenstown includes a gourmet picnic hamper of delightful cheeses, cold meats, breads, salads and fruit, along with champagne and a selection of non-alcoholic beverages. Your pilot will select a stunning location for you to enjoy your lunch, based on the weather and season. You could be sipping champagne next to a mountain lake, or on the shore of a breathtaking fiord - no two Ultimate Milford Sound heli tours are ever the same, making it one of the most unforgettable Queenstown helicopter tours.
WHAT TO BRING?
Camera, sunglasses, sturdy shoes, warm jacket and a smile!

Excellent experience. Weather can be an obstacle given the differences between Milford and Queenstown but the people at Over The Top gave the extra effort to make sure we got to see Milford Sound and the beautiful country around Queenstown.

Best Helicopter Experience
Door pick up and drop off. The pilot mark was very knowledgeable about the area. Very professional and satisfied with my experience. We landed and played in the snow before returning. Would recommend.
