What is a Glacier?

A glacier is a large, dense body of perennial ice that often moves down slopes due to its own weight and gravity. It is an accumulation of snow, ice, sediment, and rock. They are wonders to behold, and with Southern Alps Air, you can witness over 100 of them!

Flying from Wanaka

All of our Milford Sound flights depart from Wanaka, which means that you can experience 30 minutes more of flight time compared to if you were flying from Queenstown. Flying from Wanaka also means that there are many more glaciers to see!

As the flights depart from Wanaka, you will also get to see the majestic Mt Aspiring/Tititea on your way to the Sound. The route is the same for all of our scenic flights to Milford Sound, so no matter which package you choose, you are guaranteed to see over 100+ glaciers in one trip!

Window Seats for All

At Southern Alps Air, we provide window seats for all passengers on our flights, meaning that you will always have unrestricted views of the stunning landscapes as you fly towards Milford Sound. Plus, our experienced pilots also offer informative and insightful commentary during the flight, adding a personalised touch to your experience.
