5.00It was very windy at the time of our flight. A bit of a bumpy ride at times and hard to take pictures but so worth it! We were on a cruise and pick up / drop off at the information center was seamless. Highly recommend!

5.00In 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.
Awesome Ride

5.00Colin 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.
