One of the most amazing experiences!! My husband and I were on our honeymoon and wanted to do something adventurous but also not take up the full day. The fly cruise fly was the perfect ~4 hour excursion to see the milford sound, and all of queenstown. Our pilot Ryan was so kind and a fantastic pilot. The flight time was about 40 minutes there, then a scenic ~1.5 hour cruise through the Milford Sound followed by a 40 minute flight back. We had beautiful weather. Would recommend wearing a light coat and sunglasses :)

We travelled on the Pure Milford catamaran. We absolutely enjoyed it, the scenery and the seals were a thrill to see. Of course, the staff members were amazing and friendly.

This was the highlight of our trip!! Spending the day looking at scenery that doesn't even look real!! This is a do not miss! I recommend doing the smaller vessels over the bigger boats. The only thing to be aware of is the company Head Out who was in control of getting our bus to location was not on top of things. They told us to be at the bus stop at 6:30-6:45 and it was not the right time. It wasn't supposed to be till 7:30. They also told us there would only be 15 people on the boat and it really had about 50. The driver (Neville) from Altitude was GREAT! Very informative!! The boat Miter was also great! So just don't use head out to book this trip. Be sure and do it though! Worth the long drive!!!
