Fantastic

This is so worth the money. Everyone is friendly and supportive. Everyone should come and be the pilot. I’d do it again.

Fantastic experience

This was my first flying experience and it was fantastic. The pilot with me during my flight was really friendly, informative and really made the experience for me. I’d highly recommend this experience if passing by or in the Dunedin area!
