Inoubliable

20 min de vol avec un pilote très sympatique qui vous explique très simplement les manœuvres basiques ! Choisissez un jour avec une météo très clemente pour meilleure visibilité.

Expérience extraordinaire

C'était pour moi la première fois dans un petit avion et la 4ieme dans un avion... les instructeurs sont super sympa kaikoura et magnifique vu du ciel et l'expérience de pilotage est juste extraordinaire. Je me suis envoyé en l'air comme jamais. Et le petit certificat a la fin fait bien plaisir et est un bon souvenir... Vraiment a faire pour tout fan d'aviation ou a la recherche de nouvelles expériences.

Absolute fantastic

These guys are true professionals. I was nervous and they were encouraging and supportive. The flight itself was so so worth it. Just do it.

First time at the controls.

Awesome experience. My instructor Murray was very professional and made me relaxed from the first greeting. Instructions from Murray made it an easy and calming flight up the coast and down the ranges. Lucky enough to spot 3 whales as well. Bonus. A must do in Kaikoura. Great value. Great people.
