Awesome Ride - Fantastic and stunning! Incredible views of the Sound in every direction. And most of all, as a former pilot, I can attest to the professionalism and abilities of our pilot. A truly one of a kind experience.

Spectacular views from above Picton - Colin collected us right on time and took us to the airport in Picton, He was quite knowledgeable about the area. After a brief preflight we climbed aboard the plane and Colin flew us out over the city of Picton and then over the bay explaining all the sights that we were seeing. The view was spectacular as we flew along the sound and then returned back over the city. A big shout out to Colin for his informative commentary and excellent flying.

Best excursion in New Zealand - This was our best excursion while visiting New Zealand for 7 days. The owner/pilot (Cliff) and the co-pilot (Tom) were outstanding and very informative. They flew us over the sounds where we were able to take amazing pictures! So happy we were able to add more minutes to the flight for a truly unforgettable day!

Must Do When In Picton - We had the most awesome scenic flight above Queen Charlotte Sounds and Picton on a beautiful sunny day piloted by Chris. Thank you Chris for a safe and unforgetable flight. Bays & Bush Scenic Flight is a “Must Do” when in Picton. We will definitely do this again when we are back in Picton.
