About
Description
Experience New Zealand Flightseeing at its best, with Wanaka Flightseeing! Enjoy uninterrupted viewing of the inspiring southern region of the South Island of New Zealand. Choose from our friendly exclusive flights to Milford Sound, Doubtful Sound, Mount Aspiring, Mount Cook and West Coast glaciers or private charter.
'Flights of discovery' take you to remote alpine wilderness regions accessible only by air with the emphasis on being personalised, informative and interactive. Experience the cascading waterfalls of Milford Sound, crystal clear alpine lakes, the towering snow capped peaks of Mount Aspiring or the ancient glaciers of Mount Cook and the West Coast. It took millions of years for nature to create the towering mountains and for the glaciers to carve its deep fjords. It will take you only a few hours to enjoy this magnificent scenery with one of our many flight options.
By joining a Wanaka Flightseeing scenic flight we guarantee a comfortable window seat from which you can marvel at the breathtaking scenery. Our two-way headsets allow your experienced pilot to share his intimate knowledge during the flight.
We have scheduled flights departing daily. Our most popular flight is the Fly/Cruise/Fly into Milford Sound that offers a relaxing cruise on the Fjord of Milford Sound. For those of you with only a little time, a fly-over of Milford Sound is the best option, taking about 1 hour and 30 minutes or how about a flight to Mt Cook or Mt Aspiring?
Wanaka Flightseeing is a personalised aviation company and has been flying since 1999 from Wanaka. We have a wealth of knowledge about the region to share with you. We are proud to have a proven safety culture and excellent safety record.
