4.6 star rating We know the trust consumers place in ratings and reviews is tied directly to authenticity. That’s why we use Bazaarvoice. We believe that reviews should represent the genuine, unbiased, and transparent opinion about the author’s experience with a product or service.

Overview

Highlights

Unforgettable hands-on taste of flying a plane
Soar over the picturesque Lake Wanaka township and Glendhu Bay

Fuse a flying lesson with an awe-inspiring scenic flight over the picture-perfect Lake Wanaka township and the glass-like Glendhu Bay. Reach the clouds with an experienced instructor by your side and feel the buzzing sensation of piloting a plane, whilst admiring the natural beauty below you.

What's Included?

20 minute scenic trial flight
Experienced instructor

Glide over the charming Lake Wanaka township and then over the dazzling and often glass-like Glendhu Bay during a 20 minute trial flight. A qualified instructor will have dual control of the plane, guiding you through take off, flight and landing, meaning that you'll only have full control when you feel confident, and can pass them the reigns if you're wanting to drink up the scenery a little more. Be in awe as you soar over the sparkling landscape, before performing a sweeping turn over the lake back to base, skirting past wedge-shaped Mount Iron and the Clutha River. It's a wonder-filled location to learn to fly!

Session Length

Please allow 50 minutes for the total experience. The trial flight is 20 minutes in duration.
Check-in 30 minutes before departure.
