Absolutely amazing! We loved this experience - there is nothing like flying over and close to the mountains. After our first flight experience was cancelled with another company, I reached out to see if Air Milford would be running their afternoon flight. We were lucky enough the weather cleared up for us to get on a flight with only a little delay while we waited out the weather! The pilots were great and enthusiastic and both the flight and cruise were awe inspiring.

From the moment our trip was confirmed early in the morning on the 14th of August, we knew we were going to have a very beautiful experience; however, I am lost for words on how great it was and struggle to find the right ideas to express on this review. The group was small to make the experience personal, my son got the chance to see the hangar and the Cesna planes from very close and he loved every single bit of it. The views and the places we visited are beyond what can be captured on pictures, simply breathtaking. Our pilot Thomas was extremely experienced and knowledgable, he was describing everything we were seeing on both sides of the plane. Milford sound cruise was very sublime, we have not been to a place this beautiful anywhere else, and we do not believe there is such beauty outside Milford Sound. The trip was the highlight of our visit to Queenstonwn and will definitely repeat the experience again in near future. Thank you Thomas, Mikayla, Sara and rest of AirMilford Team!
