New Zealand Escape to Luxury

From total relaxation to new adventures, Bay of Many Coves offers an abundance of unique experiences. Spend a day discovering the marine life of the Marlborough Sounds, including dolphins, orcas, whales and seals. Recharge with a treatment at the day spa or find a secluded spot to relax with a book. Venture underground to see glowworms illuminate cave walls just a short walk from the resort. Kayak or SUP the nearby bays and coastline. All this—and more—awaits at Bay of Many Coves.

Perfected over the years, Over the Top's Milford Ultimate is a trip of a lifetime—relaxed, unhurried, and designed to immerse you in every remarkable landscape along the way. Departing Queenstown, fly west over the high-country peaks toward the ‘Main Divide’ of the Southern Alps and into the World Heritage–listed Fiordland National Park. The scenery unfolds dramatically with glacier-carved valleys and ancient beech forests below.

Your journey includes four spectacular landings in pristine, contrasting locations: sip pure alpine lake water, marvel at the grandeur of Milford Sound, stroll along untouched West Coast beaches and coastal rainforest, and glimpse blue glacial ice high in the Alps. At each site, your pilot shuts down the helicopter so you can savor the mountain silence—perhaps even in the company of a curious kea, New Zealand’s native parrot.

Your excursion includes a gourmet picnic hamper of delightful cheeses, cold meats, breads, salads and fruit. Sip champagne and a selection of non-alcoholic beverages at a location far from where others may travel. This tour takes up to 4 hours total time. Weight restrictions apply to helicopter travel, so the operator will require passenger weight information prior to confirming this excursion.
