No food on boat. So you need bring food if you want eat. Free coffee and tea. The walk from the plane to boat does take a while so if you not okay walking then you need be aware of this. Great trip we both enjoyed it and well worth doing this then a eight hour return drive. You also need check weather our flight was cancelled. Lucky for us we got to fly latter that day. So you need have some flexibility if on a tight timetable.

From start to finish this trip was awesome. The plane was a special experience flying just above the mountains in a 12 seater plane with fantastic views on all sides. Milford sound boat was equally impressive with beautiful waterfalls and great commentary along the way and great sights to see. Price was also affordable. Would definitely recommend this trip.

We had the best time Flight with Elliot, who took special care and attention pre flight and gave us great insight into the area during our journey to and from Milford sound. The cruise on the sound was also fantastic, just enough to capture all the great features and falls available. All round well worth recommending
