After several postponements due to weather (fortunately we were in town for several days), with staff staying in contact and keeping us up to date (thanks so much!), we finally got our flight. And what a flight. Pilot Antony was great, very friendly, explained everything quickly and simply, and took us on such a good flight. Due to small group (just four of us), we got the Cessna 206, so got live interactive commentary. Weather in our favour so we could see for miles, got to see everything and more. Highly recommend.

Just returned home after a one and a half scenic flight. I thought it would good but wasn't prepared for how incredible it was. We had Hank the owner as our pilot and I was his co-pilot, he explained what everything was. The vision of Milford Sound brought tears to my eyes. My partner Sean was a bit apprehensive but he loved it to. And they pick you up if you are in Queenstown. Highly recommend 👌

Unreal views of the mountains and fjords. We got lucky with very good weather so it was a nice smooth ride with good viewing

Given the hefty price tag for airplane or helicopter rides, we dithered about booking this one but decided to take it as a ‘Birthday Gift’… and are glad we did so! The views from up high are so different from those below and the route taken by the pilot covered a geography not possible from a car. The hour long flight was of just the right duration. We each had good seats but I wonder if the people sitting in the middle of a row of three had a good view.
Fabulous flight.

The whole expirience was stunning. The personal was very friendly. The booking was easy. And the flight over the southern alps was one of the most scenic things I did in my 5 weeks in New Zealand.
Excellent Experience
