Up UP and away!

Great operation, and very reasonable priced. We were able to see the coast from the air. Even though it was cloudy it was still worth it. The were even nice enough to take us back to the ship tender area after our flight. Thanks Rob and Eileen

Highly Recommend

Great service to maximize my experience. My booking was brought forward a day to maximise the weather conditions, and it worked out perfectly! Blue skies, snow capped mountains and a very pleasant flight (no bumps). Would highly recommend...

Scenic flight

Published on Jul, 2023

Jake was very welcoming...we were lucky enough to get our own private flight in a Cessna as were the only 2 booked on the morning flight. It was terrific, the views were incredible and Jake gave a great commentary. We even saw a whale briefly as we moved up the coastal road before flying near to the snow capped peaks. It was worth every penny. I booked using the winter offer, combining the flight with a whale watch boat tour. Great value at $165 for both.

Incredible views, helpful staff

Staff were super helpful. We booked the scenic flight thinking it was a whale watching flight, however, the staff were able to catch a view of whales over the pennisula for us. It was an incredible experience. Kaikoura is stunning. Would highly reccomend.

Fantastic, must do experience.
