The Ideal Day Date: Milford Sound Scenic Tour

Love is in the air? It certainly could be when you reserve one of our exclusive Milford Sound flights for you and your partner. Soar above this stunning coastal inlet on the South Island and let romance reach new heights as you both immerse yourselves in the breathtaking scenery.

In Wanaka, there are plenty of romantic things to do, from wine tasting to cinema outings and exploring local bike trails. But what’s more exciting than taking a flight from this Otago town to see the amazing waterway Rudyard Kipling called the 8th Wonder of the World?

Milford Sound & Glaciers Flyover 

Many romantic things to do in Wanaka are centred around the 192-square-kilometre Lake Wanaka. For example, you can join a cruise ship or go kayaking on this lake, one of New Zealand’s largest.

However, it’s easier to see much more of Lake Wanaka when you have a bird’s-eye view of it, as you can on Southern Alps Air flyovers over Milford Sound. 

Also, though it is possible to book Milford Sound flights that depart from Queenstown, our flyovers last 30 minutes longer and will enable you to see many more glaciers.

Milford Sound Flight + Landing & Glaciers

Like our flyovers, our landing-and-glacier flights allow passengers to check out more than a hundred glaciers along with the stunning Mt Aspiring, the peak of which reaches 3,033 metres.

This particular flight option does differ in including a short landing at Milford Sound — a great opportunity for you and your lover to snap plenty of photos for sharing later on social media. You can even enjoy a short couples’ stroll through the bush before heading back to the plane together.

Milford Sound from Wanaka (Fly Cruise Fly + Glaciers)

This fly cruise fly features all of the same highlights as our landing-and-glacier flights. So, where does the ‘cruise’ aspect come in? Our fly cruises include a boat trip, giving couples the chance to board a cosy vessel and cruise the full 16-kilometre length of Milford Sound.

Imagine snuggling up with your significant lover while viewing native wildlife like dolphins, seals and penguins. You don’t have to just imagine it, as it is easy to book a scenic flight with Southern Alps Air — you can do it all via our website or phone 0800 345 666 for more information.
