Breathtaking flight - Taking off and landing on the beach was fantastic. The views were beautiful and the whole trip was amazing. The pilot, Chris, was very competent and friendly and gave an informative narrative throughout the flight.

Above the world! - We loved being able to see the sounds from the air. Colton picked us up and was very pleasant and informative. We were disappointed that we were not able to do the beach part of the trip because of the winds.

Flying High in Picton - Seeing the sounds from up there in this plane was fantastic. Our pilot explained all the six of us were seeing during our flight, and we gained a love of this beautiful country and its people. We would recommend this experience to anyone.

Great flight experience in Picton - A late review but I just wanted to leave a note for this activity which was definitely one major highlight during our cruise to New Zealand. Booking this and communicating with Chris the pilot were easy and hassle free. We were picked up on time by Chris’s mom. The scenic flight over the sounds plus the quick stop at their island home was picturesque. I would definitely recommend this to anyone dropping by Picton.

Simply stunning. One of the best experiences. - Of all the experiences our family did in NZ this was by far the best. The pilot was friendly and Knowledgeable. The scenery from the plane was incredible and the time spent flying was longer than any other scenic flight we have done. Would recommend this experience to everyone. Stopping on a private pristine beach was the icing on the cake. Simply stunning.

The weather was pretty decent. Chris , our pre-trip contact, and, later our pilot, was proficient and skilled, with good commentary through headphones. Thank you guys!
