THIS IS WHY WE FLY

Amazing! Must do in Queenstown. Great pilot, super knowledgeable and could tell us every single mountain and lake we flew near. Even did an extra loop around a waterfall so we could get another look.

Hannah Jarmany via Tripadvisor

An incredible experience! Excellent value for money for 80 minutes you get to see a wide variety of landscapes. At times it feels like you can reach out and touch the mountains. The staff friendly and helpful, and we felt safe and comfortable in the small plane. A absolute bucket list, must do!!

We booked the Milford Sound Scenic Flyover. Our pilot Liam knew all the landmarks, so on top of just looking at the scenery, we got a good understanding of what we were looking at.
