Milford Sound Tour + Heli Flight
TOUR ADD-ON EXTRA
Take your Luxe Tour to epic new heights with a 30 minute long Milford Sound helicopter ride, over the fiord, across mountains, through valleys and even a glacier landing.
As part of the Luxe Day Tour and following your Milford Sound cruise, our guide checks you in with our Milford Sound Helicopter team. Following departure you will fly over Milford Sound to Tutoko Mountain, the highest peak in Fiordland National Park, a truly mesmerising sight and experience. Here you will land on the glacier and be able to enjoy unparalleled views across Fiordland.
After photos and a quick drink of some pure glacier water, discover hidden alpine lakes, lush West Coast forests and land in a beautiful remote setting to join back up with your Luxe Tour coach for your return journey to Te Anau, taking off 40mins of driving.
Include a Milford Sound Helicopter Tour in your Luxe Milford Sound Day Tour from Te Anau.

It is important to note that the Milford Sound helicopter tour is very dependant on the weather. The decision to fly is made by our Heli tour partner on the day.
If the flight does not take place, you will remain with the main tour group in your vehicle and be refunded the helicopter portion of your day tour ticket immediately.
Fiordland weather is very changeable, and while it may seem sunny and fine in Milford Sound, the mountain ranges create their own systems of weather & wind that pilots must consider.
The flight needs a minimum of four people to fly. We join with other tours to do our best to make the flight travel and most of the time this occurs.
"Luxe Tours took us to spots that were hidden, or off the beaten track on our Milford Sound Tour.
At times we were completely alone in the middle of nowhere, just surrounded by steep mountains, a clear blue river and the sounds of birds in the distance.
It was truly magical."
Russell & Frances Watson
