We were worried that today's weather would not allow us to fly but Michael (our pilot) and team made it happen by providing alternatives. Although we were unable to take the Milford Sound cruise, we still got to experience the overhead flight over Milford Sound and Michael sharing interesting facts about the Fiordland National Park. Definitely worth a try when you are here in New Zealand! ♥️

The team was very proactive and provide detailed information to help us prepare for the trip. Pick up and drop off was provided from many hotels and on time too. Our pilot gave detailed information through out the flight and the view from above was really amazing. The cruise around the Milford Sound was excellent too and there are lots of waterfall that we could see from quite close
