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.

Helicopter tours in Queenstown, New Zealand
Queenstown sits at the center of some of New Zealand's most dramatic alpine scenery, and it's one of the few places in the world where a helicopter tour can include an actual snow landing on a mountain peak.
When's the best time to fly?
Winter (June to August) is prime time for snow-landing tours; summer (December to February) trades the snow for longer days and clear views of Lake Wakatipu and the Southern Alps without needing cold-weather gear.
What should I bring?
Warm layers at any time of year, since it's cold at altitude even when Queenstown itself is mild, plus sunglasses for glare off the snow or lake.
What if the weather doesn't cooperate?
Like most operators, tours in Queenstown have standard weight and balance limits (you may be asked your weight when booking or checking in), and pilots will delay or reschedule rather than fly in unsafe wind, low visibility, or storms. Booking a tour with free cancellation means a weather delay won't cost you anything.
