Visually unparalleled, Milford Sound is New Zealand’s most popular tourist destination – and for good reason! Crowned as the 8th natural wonder of the world, Milford Sound is famous for its unique character, gushing waterfalls (some of New Zealand’s largest!), lush rainforests, and abundant wildlife.
With an average annual rainfall of 6,412mm (252in) each year, Milford Sound is known as the wettest inhabited place in New Zealand and one of the wettest in the world. This huge rainfall creates dozens of temporary waterfalls, cascading down the cliff faces, some reaching a thousand metres in length. Smaller falls from such heights may never reach the bottom of the sound, drifting away in the wind.
Fiords carved by the glaciers dominate the scenery eventually blending into the wild and windswept west coast.
Queenstown is known as the adventure capital of the world, boasting the most impressive collection of adrenalin fuelled activities on the planet.
Tackle Australasia’s highest ‘Bungy Jump’ (AJ Hackett’s Nevis Bungy – 143m) or enjoy 60 seconds of free falling between mountains, skydiving from 15,000ft (Nzone Skydiving). Reaching speeds of up to 80kmph (50mph), blaze through stunning glacial canyons on the world renowned Shotover Jet, or raft down ferocious rapids on your quest for the ultimate thrill seeking adventure.
Life begins at the end of your comfort zone, and you’re bound to find that here in Queenstown.
Fiordland is an area of spectacular beauty. Native forest, glacial-hewn valleys, towering mountains and majestic and primeval scenery have afforded this area ‘World Heritage’ status. Ancient animals and plants of Gondwanaland still exist here.
Alongside Over The Top, we are delighted to be able to take you to explore this inaccessible area.
Lift-off from our local departure lounge, at a time to suit, for a spectacular and exclusive helicopter flight over snow-capped alps and glacial lakes before descending into Milford Sound, the first of twelve fiords. Milford Sound has acclaimed World Heritage Status for its extreme beauty, rare fauna and geological features.
Wind your way down the remote and rugged coastline of the Tasman Sea, discover the Fiords and beaches accessible only by helicopter. Touch down and put your feet in the sand and feel the power of the thunderous ocean waves stretching ceaselessly beyond you. Lunch is at your leisure as you discover the perfect setting for your alpine picnic of our finest regional foods.
