Milford Sound
Your guide to Queenstown’s most romantic activities this Valentine’s Day: from scenic flights to wine tours
This Valentine’s Day, go beyond expectations with experiences that will leave your loved one swooning. From a dramatic flight above the Fiordland wilderness to clinking glasses at exclusive Queenstown cellar doors, here are two incredible Queenstown activities to help you win Valentine’s Day this year.
Tired of playing it safe on Valentine’s Day? It might be time to think bigger—much bigger. Southern Discoveries has two knockout experiences that will leave you buzzing long after Valentine’s Day.
Milford Sound Fly-Cruise-Fly
Love is in the air (and on the water)
Picture the two of you flying high above snow-capped peaks and ancient glaciers, sharing “pinch me” moments as Fiordland’s wilderness unfolds below. Our Fly-Cruise-Fly experience to Milford Sound is more than a trip – it’s the kind of grand gesture that you will remember forever.
The stunning 35-minute scenic flight from Queenstown is just the beginning. After touching down in Milford Sound, you’ll board a Southern Discoveries Nature Cruise. Grab two glasses of bubbles from the onboard bar (because why not?) as waterfalls cascade from the immense landscape around you. Keep an eye out for dolphins, seals and, if it’s your lucky day, the rare Fiordland crested penguin. Return to Queenstown via another scenic flight, the perfect finale to an unforgettable day.
Hot tip: That open-top deck is the perfect spot for stealing a kiss under Stirling Falls.

Queenstown Wine Tour
A love affair with Central Otago’s finest
If your idea of romance involves world-class wines and stunning landscapes (and honestly, whose doesn’t?), our Queenstown Wine Tour is your ticket to Valentine’s Day glory. More than your standard wine tour, Southern Discoveries’ Cellar Door experience is an intimate journey to four of the region’s most prestigious cellar doors, where every sip tells a story.
Cosy up at boutique vineyards like Brennan Wines, Chard Farm, Waitiri Creek, and Mora where private tastings and shared platters set the scene. The journey continues through the rolling scenery of Gibbston Valley, the home of New Zealand’s award-winning Pinot Noirs.
The Queenstown Wine Tour is an unforgettable 5-hour experience, travelling in a sophisticated Mercedes Sprinter van, and always guaranteed to be a small group. Everything is taken care of all you have to do is show up.
Hot tip: Pick up a bottle of your favourite wine to take home—because the best days deserve an encore.
