The Perfect Birthday Surprise: Milford Sound Fly-Cruise-Fly Tour

If someone special in your life is approaching their birthday, you might be having a bit of trouble figuring out the perfect gift. After all, you’ve celebrated many birthdays with them, and now it feels like you’re running low on fresh ideas.

However, according to research, experiences can be more satisfying than possessions. For this reason, you might want to surprise the birthday boy or girl by springing a flight or cruise on them. You could even book a combined flight and cruise — such as a Milford Sound fly-cruise-fly tour…

Why a Trip to Milford Sound?

If the person you’re buying for loves to travel, they might jump at the chance to enjoy breathtaking views of Milford Sound, whether or not they’ve explored this stunning fjord before.

For instance, if they’ve climbed the Matterhorn on the Italy-Switzerland border, the idea of seeing the Milford Sound mountains from a high vantage point could easily excite them. These peaks include Mt Aspiring, often called ‘the Matterhorn of the South’.

A Milford Sound Flight and Cruise Combined in One Package  

As the birthday celebrant is taken on a flight across a stunning scene of Milford Sound mountains, lakes, rainforests and other natural delights, the plane’s experienced pilot will provide informative commentary.

The package also includes a cruise along the 16km length of the Sound, giving the passengers opportunities to see seals, dolphins and penguins in their natural habitats.

Get the Timing Right

Certainly, with a birthday celebration, the social calendar is likely to be quite busy. When booking a Milford Sound fly-cruise-fly tour with us, you have the flexibility to choose either a morning or afternoon departure for the plane.

Your lucky loved one will have to get to Wanaka for the allotted departure time, but flying from this Otago resort town rather than Queenstown will give them an extra 25 minutes in the air. That becomes a considerable advantage when you think about the extensive scenery they’ll have to appreciate.
