Tour guide Danny is such a gem! He would keep us entertained with his huge database of songs and his driving skill is superb! He will also take good care of you if you are a solo traveller, helping you to take photos. Amazing tour and tour size is just the right size, covering one to and fro hotel! The lunch pouch provided is delicious too. Heartfelt thanks from your co-pilot Danny! 😁

The tour is packed in one day. Very reasonable and worth the price. Our tour guide Andy is a safe driver, good at communicating and was also very generous in stopping at other beautiful spots apart from listed itinerary to take some shots. highly recommended.

Our tour guide Kevin from Altitude Tours Queenstown was engaging, informative and entertaining. We were comfortably taken to Glenorchy & Paradise and enjoyed a little picnic with some delicious south land food and hot drinks. We were able to take some beautiful photos. Highly recommend this operator

Overall I had a wonderful experience during the Fly Cruise Milford Sound trip. The crew did a fantastic job communicating about the pickup time and location. They even called me right after I landed in Queenstown to ensure that I can make it. They all had a very warm personality and the Pilot (Andrew) is such a rockstar. During the flight he explained about each of the interesting things to look out for and give us heads up about the weather. I felt safe flying with him. The Milford Sound cruise was just magical. I feel like I had been transported to another world the moment we landed at Milford. The scenery is pure perfection and everything looks like 4K. Such a beautiful place and I can’t wait to come again. Overall, I had a very positive experience during the entire trip and would recommend the Fly Cruise Experience for people who is short on time. Just a recommendation maybe you can also offer a package for a smaller cruise boat as well.

Overall it was a good tour, beautiful sight at Milford Sound and the various viewing spots along the way. You may spot the Kea bird at one of the lookout point too.

I was delighted to sign up for this trip to Glenorchy and Paradise. Although the weather wasn't very stable, we were lucky enough to see a rainbow on the way to Glenorchy. Jim, our guide and driver, immediately pulled over at a suitable photo spot so we could admire this special scenery. Along the way, the humorous Jim not only introduced us to the unique characteristics of the towns around Lake Wakatipu but also gave us a deeper understanding of the entire South Island of New Zealand. This was a very pleasant and worthwhile trip.

Highly recommended itinerary! 👍👍 The birthplace of bungee jumping was closed due to snow, so we immediately rerouted to the Kawarau Gorge Suspension Bridge lookout. We passed through a fruit town, visited Lindis Pass, and had lunch at a salmon farm, where there were many delicious meal options. We saw the milky blue Lake Pukaki and finally arrived at Mount Cook to see the Tasman Glacier, marveling at the beauty and grandeur of nature. The entire round trip was about 11 hours. A big thank you to our private guide, Vera, for the full tour, photos, and explanations. This is a highly recommended itinerary and set of attractions.

What to know before visiting Queenstown

Quick snapshot of Queenstown’s draw

Queenstown is a year-round outdoor playground where bookings concentrate on outdoor & sports activities, water activities and cruises. Demand peaks around December and dips in February, giving the town a clear high-season rhythm driven by festive and summer travel.

When to visit for weather, crowds and prices

According to Klook booking data, the busiest month is December while February shows the lowest demand. Prices don’t exactly mirror demand: they peak around July on Klook, while the most budget-friendly month is typically January. If you want smaller crowds and lower prices, travel in January or February; for the full peak-season atmosphere aim for December, accepting that some categories get pricier in winter months like July.

Tips for travellers from Hong Kong

Most travellers from Hong Kong usually book about two weeks ahead, with many locking in plans roughly 16 days before travel and a common early-booking window around 31 days. If your trip is under a week, you can be flexible—many experiences still allow bookings a few days out—but for peak-season dates in December it helps to plan earlier. Use Klook to compare activity timings and secure outdoor or water-based experiences sooner rather than later.
