Beyond awesome!!!

So right from booking I had exceptional contact from the pilot about check in for the next day. Super friendly & accomodating. Upon check in, awesome service, flying, commentary etc. can’t fault this wee company where 2 pilots are father n daughter. It was absolutely the highlight of our trip & I’ve already recommended it to so many people. Genuine Kiwi hospitality & good service. Epic sights that are just unreal! I’d go back & do this adventure again without a doubt! You get so close!

Flying with Nikita!

Absolutely stunning experience with great company! Nikita has great knowledge of the area nad pointed all the interesting staff out. Made sure I see what she speaks off and gave me timely heads up for picture angles to come. Flight was very smooth and and it was am epic experience! As a solo traveler I have counted with this might not be possible for me as couples have priority, but even that was somehow possible to negotiate to everyone's satisfaction. Aver all loved it. Very very much! Never have I thought I'd fly over volcano. But if in the area. Why not? Thank you so much for such a great and unique experience! Petra 🐭
