The pilot, helicopter, and staff of Salt Air was terrific. Having had such a great helicopter tour, I signed up with Salt Air for a fixed win air tour of the north end of Northland, New Zealand, which was equally wonderful.

View was amazing it was such a beautiful day, ocean was flat so you could see everything including schools of fish. Pilot knew a lot about the area which was very interesting
