Plane is a 4 seater. Lots of opportunity for photos. We landed on a grass runway. Chris was an excellent pilot.

Fly over Picton and see the beautiful landscape for the air. We were picked up in Picton near the welcome center and driven to a small airfield ten minutes away. The flight was amazing, but if you have ANY fear of small planes i would not recommend this. We landed on a small landing field near a gorgeous beach & then flew back. The scenery is unforgettable and the pilot and his dad (Who drove us to the airfield) were personable and took safety first. Do this if you love flying and seeing Picton from above.

this is a small family run business. there are two brothers and one will pick you up and one will take you on the plane ride. narration was great. safety was a concern. we landed at a small runway strip out on a sound which their family actually owns. their father was a pilot. very peaceful. nice. highly recommend on time driving to and from cruise ship. pick up and drop off. definitely go. you will not be disappointed

The area is very beautiful to view from above. We were lucky to enjoy excellent flying weather and our pilot showed a high skill level landing at the remote grass strip. I recommend this excursion, strongly.
