[Milford Sound Fly & Cruise] Enjoy the spectacular views of the fjord from the sky on a Cessna and from the sea on a cruise

[Departing from a private terminal in Queenstown] The True South tour I participated in this time departed from a private terminal at Queenstown International Airport. With a smooth check-in to avoid crowds, once all participants were gathered, they walked to the plane. [Air travel in a Cessna 208B Grand Caravan] The aircraft used was a Cessna 208B Grand Caravan. With a high-wing design, all seats are located by the windows, so you can enjoy a spectacular view from any seat. Equipped with comfortable leather seats and the latest Garmin G1000 NXI glass cockpit, it provides a stable flight. Although it is a small aircraft, it is not too narrow and is comfortable to ride. Being able to see the cockpit is also exciting. [Spectacular views from the sky: Fiordland National Park] During the flight, you can see the magnificent scenery of Fiordland National Park. Breathtaking natural beauty spreads out before you, including snow-capped mountains, glaciers, deep valleys, Eglinton Valley and Sutherland Falls. The experience of flying close to the rocky cliffs of the mountains is a thrilling one that you can't experience on a regular passenger plane. 【Milford Sound Cruise Experience】 After landing, you will transfer to a cruise ship and explore Milford Sound from the sea. You will have the chance to encounter waterfalls, cliffs, and sometimes wild animals such as seals and dolphins. On a cruise of about 1 hour and 45 minutes, you can fully enjoy the charm of the fjord. I actually saw a seal. Can you find it in the photo of the rocks? 【Tour flow】 • Departure: Meet at a private terminal in Queenstown and depart by Cessna • Flight time: About 40 minutes one way • Cruise: About 1 hour and 45 minutes cruise on Milford Sound • Return: Return to Queenstown by Cessna and disband 【Summary】 This tour is a luxurious plan that allows you to experience the natural beauty of New Zealand from both the sky and the sea. Although the price is a little high, it is recommended for travelers with limited time, and you can efficiently enjoy the charm of Milford Sound. If you go by land, it will be a bus trip that takes about 4 hours one way. #Let's go abroad #Truesouth #Milford Sound #Queenstown #Cessna 208B #Fiordland National Park #New Zealand travel #Breathtaking views flight #Cruise experience #Sky and sea travel #Travel review #newzealand #New Zealand #milfordsound #cessna #fiordland
