Explore the large turquoise lakes of Otago, New Zealand before heading over to Milford Sound on this classic tourist scenic flight. This trip starts out in sleepy Hawea, climbing above the lake then over to Lake Wanaka. From Wanaka you will head up the Cardona Valley & over the Crown Range into Queenstown. Fly slow & low up the Kawarau & Shotover Rivers with sights of Coronet Peak before emerging right over Queenstown. Watch out for paragliders as you cruise past the Skyline Gondola up Lake Wakatipu to Glenorchy, famous for mutiple movie scenes. From there you will make your way up river and over a mountain range to check out some huge glaciers. The West Coast will now be visible on your right hand side as you fly over many valleys and mountains scattered with lakes. Start your descent into picturesque Milford Sound for a cruisy ending to your journey.
This amazing five leg bush-trip will take you through 6 airfields, including paved & grass runways. Landings will be easy with some fun approaches. I've tried to include some local knowedge about the area based on local flights I have been on.

Great adventure. I know the area well so navigating was pretty easy till I entered the mountains! Great route into Milford.
Any suggestions? Been fortunate to fly this area IRL so would like to complete this.
