Nice view and experience even though we dint manage to see the whale due to the bad weather ~
The pilot Mike was super nice, informative and fabulous guide. The family absolutely loved the experience and we caught sight of a couple of humpback whales as well as a pod of dolphines. Will do it again if and when I have the chance.
Wow just WOW! The in flight experience was well worth the "ticket price" as we were very close to the sea. Managed to catch one sperm whale at the end. Having seen those on the bumpy ferries, am glad i'm up in the air as the weather was turning stormy.
We met two small whales and a group of dolphins. The service was awesome but it would be more interesting if a big whale show up. It’s not our day. Going to visit again 🌸
An amazing experience. We were able to saw three whales and many many dophins during our flight. Our pilot Mike is very knowledgeable and flew us very close to the whales. Highly recommended!
instructor: sam is my instructor and captain supper cool person i ever met in Nz.
I missed the pick-up bus and I looked for it. Luckily, we did a good tour for you. It wasn't going to be so long, so I toured the plane, but it was good to see the whales and whales.
It is a very special experience. Taking a small plane to watch whales may be a bit uncomfortable for those who are prone to motion sickness. The journey is not long, so it should be bearable. If you don’t see it, you can’t refund any fees. This time, I participated in the trip at two o’clock in the afternoon. I was lucky to find a whale at the end of the trip, which is worth the fare.
These guys are brilliant. They know exactly where the whales could be spotted. Highlyrecommended activity.
The flight was great and the pilot was really friendly. Would have been perfect if the communication system between the pilot and the rest of the passengers behind was working.
