In the very beginning, they pick you up at the main part of town take it right out to the airport and wham. We're on the plane.. you see views that you would never see from the ground. It didn't even know existed over the sounds and Picton area.

Fantastic and stunning! Incredible views of the Sound in every direction. And most of all, as a former pilot, I can attest to the professionalism and abilities of our pilot. A truly one of a kind experience.

Colin collected us right on time and took us to the airport in Picton, He was quite knowledgeable about the area. After a brief preflight we climbed aboard the plane and Colin flew us out over the city of Picton and then over the bay explaining all the sights that we were seeing. The view was spectacular as we flew along the sound and then returned back over the city. A big shout out to Colin for his informative commentary and excellent flying.

This was our best excursion while visiting New Zealand for 7 days. The owner/pilot (Cliff) and the co-pilot (Tom) were outstanding and very informative. They flew us over the sounds where we were able to take amazing pictures! So happy we were able to add more minutes to the flight for a truly unforgettable day!
