    Milford Sound

    Over The Top’s Milford Highlights excursion combines all the aspects of Milford Sound, the West Coast and the surrounding Southern Alps glacier areas. You helicopter will lift off from Queenstown and fly you high over the snow-capped Southern Alps to the stunningly beautiful Milford Sound. Sit back and enjoy the view as you fly down Milford Sound giving you a birds-eye view of the waterfalls and rainforests below. Continue through to the mouth of Milford Sound to the Tasman Sea and head north to land on a remote West Coast beach. Take a stroll on this uninhabited beach before lifting again to step out into an alpine environment – a stark contrast to the coast just moments before. At each landing site, the helicopter is fully shut down so you can enjoy the quiet serenity of this pristine environment. Take your time to explore and photograph this magical place.
