We enjoyed a memorable experience this morning: the Big Five Glaciers Overflight. Kudos to our pilot Tom. His expertise in the Captain’s Chair along with an abundant knowledge of the area made for a marvellous flight. Tom, who speaks fluent NZ English, passed on details of the lay of the land – clearly – as we flew over this most magnificent natural landscape. It was fortunate that our flight occurred on a fine November day. Not too many clouds. We highly recommend this awesome New Zealand experience and thanks again to Tom and the team at Air Milford.

I initially wrote a review of my family's recent experience. I was quickly contacted for more information than received a call from CEO, Hank. He immediately apologized and took responsibility for our experience, and took steps to make it right. Air Milford offers a shuttle service from Queenstown to Milford Sound in addition to sight seeing tours. We signed up and paid for one and basically received the other. Nonetheless, my opinion of the integrity of the company has changed in a positive direction as a result of Hank reaching out. They could have easily disregarded my review. But they chose to reach out in an effort to learn from what happened and attempt at making things right.
