Outstanding experience

Brilliant flight with George. Very knowledgeable and interesting pilot who told us the whole history and geology of the island as well as the story around the 2019 eruption. Be prepared to take heaps of photos!

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!
