5.00From the minute we booked everything was perfect. We received an email with all details, questions for dietary requirements. Then the day, where do we start? It was absolutely breath taking. Tom, our pilot, was absolutely outstanding. We loved the flight and the cruise and would 100% recommend it to anyone. Definitely the highlight of our trip.
Top experience!

5.00The flight was spectacular! We flew on a picture perfect day. We flew above Fiordland national park which is just jaw dropping! Our pilot Corey was very professional and gave us a lot of information about the area. The cruise was really great. We got to see “bonus” waterfalls because it had rained the night before. The captain was very informative. We had a box lunch as part of our package and that was very good as well. The trip was a splurge but so worth it! We loved every minute of it. Just go, you won’t regret it!
Fabulous flight and boat sightseeing trip.
