This is a must do when visiting New Zealand - Ruth & Wayne are so helpful and obliging - nothing is a trouble + the opportunity to fly a plane yourself is sensational, and @ a reasonable price - not like many of the other expensive activities in N.Z. . Must put on the Bucket List. Peter M - Sydney

Chris P 7/03/12 Having wanted to fly for 35 years, i finally had a go. The moment the wheels left the deck you couldn't wipe the smile off my face. Very emotional. The plane is in as new condition, the confidence generated by Ruth is reassuring, and of course the scenery is breathtaking. Although naturally nervous at first, quickly replaced... More

These guys are awesome. Could not have expected to have a better flight. I think next time I am in Wanaka, I will be paying them a visit again. Awesome scenery and really down to earth people in perhaps the best part of the country!

I bought a flight for my husbands birthday. He had a great time. Occassionally the DVD gets pulled out and watched again. Highly recommended.

I did the U-Fly scenic flight and fly the plane yourself trip on a beautiful Wanaka morning with clear skies and a few clouds hanging around the tops of the mountains to add some highlights to the breathtaking scenery. I had seen the brochures and always thought I'd go, but never "got 'round to it!" until this week. I rang... More

My wife gave me the leaflet and once I had read it I was hooked. The actual experience far exceeded the expectations that the leaflet had generated ( which is not to say the leaflet didn't do it's job - just that the experience is tremendous). The time I spent flying the plane was much more than I expected and... More

Flying a plane was something i never thought i would do. My Son forced me to try this. I couldn't initially believe there was such an option. However, when we met the operator and had a conversation, we felt this was something we must do! The operator was very well experienced and was across all the nuances. We felt really... More

Without doubt, this is a must do in NZ. Awesome experience and this one was the highlight of our trip. It is a unique experience, and I would definitely do it again! Was definitely worth the time and money, very well planned and carried out in every aspect! cheers!

Apart from the scenery this was the VERY BEST experience I had while on my 3 week holiday in New Zealand. If you go to Wanaka you MUST include this in your itinerary. Obviously the views are stunning but the high you get actually steering the plane is awesome. I planned to take pictures while I was up there but... More
