Take an amazing flight through spectacular scenery- Don't think its just Tiger Moth trips, Classic flights flew us through the alpine mountain country to see glaciers, frozen lakes and hanging valleys and not least Milford Sound. This is great value for money and will give better views than any cruise can do. Some of the highest waterfalls in New Zealand... more

This is a "do not miss" opportunity when in Wanaka.. A chance to climb into the open cockpit of a legendary airplane and see some of the best scenery in New Zealand. Everything was great from take off to landing. more

The weather was perfect and the landscape really inspiring. After a good cup of coffee, I had a marvellous flight above Wanaka lake (New-Zealand) and surroundings. Here are some photos I took during the flight. Olivier (Bordeaux, France) more
