A journey into Fiordland is always memorable, but did you know you can enrich your adventure even further with a range of carefully designed add-on experiences?
Whether you are joining the Hollyford Wilderness Experience or spending two serene days at Waitai Lodge Fiordland Escape, these optional extras allow you to personalise your time in Te Wāhipounamu and create a truly unforgettable itinerary.
Elevate Your Hollyford Wilderness Experience
After three days exploring the Hollyford Valley from mountains to the sea, many manuhiri look for a spectacular way to complete their journey. Our scenic fixed-wing flight from Milford Sound to Queenstown offers that perfect finale. Flying low over Piopiotahi, alpine ridgelines and ancient rainforest delivers a rare perspective on a cherished national park and sets the tone for a relaxed return to Queenstown.
If you prefer something even more special, upgrade to a helicopter transfer with a remote wilderness landing. This option gives you dramatic aerial views of Milford Sound and Lake Wakatipu and creates a moment that feels both peaceful and powerful.
For travellers who want to linger in Fiordland, an overnight cruise is an inspiring add-on. Choose the boutique Fiordland Jewel, where you can kayak, explore by tender and enjoy a hot tub under the stars, or the classic Milford Mariner, known for guided nature outings, hearty meals and comfortable private cabins. Both offer a calm and immersive way to spend a night in Piopiotahi.

You can also extend your time on the water with an overnight cruise on the Fiordland Jewel, departing directly from Milford Sound. It is an ideal way to unwind after your lodge stay and enjoy kayaking, stargazing and gourmet dining before continuing to Queenstown the following morning.
