The best flying experience I have had. The hosts were great, food was wonderful, and the sites were spectacular.

The best! Great folks and a fun way to see the sights of the South Island.

How it works

You fly. We handle everything else.

From the moment you land at Queenstown, every day is fully hosted. You take the left seat of a customised Cessna 172 and do all the flying. Your guide, an experienced mountain instructor, sits beside you with local knowledge no chart can provide.

Left seat is yours

You do all the flying: Milford Sound approaches, glacier valleys, grass strips and beach landings.

A guide in every aircraft

One experienced mountain instructor per aircraft. Right seat. Every flight.

Unpack once

Home base is a serviced apartment in Wanaka. Day trips out, comfortable nights back.
