Easy booking system. friendly service. Best way to visit Stewart Island. On our way to S.I. the pilot could take an extra round above the island. That was amazing. The company is taking good care of the passangers. Next time we go with S.I. Flight. We will never take the ferry again.

Arrived at the airport on a lovely sunny day, the pilot checked me in and after a short wait we were called forward. I was lucky enough to get a seat beside the pilot and had a great view. If you think it's too expensive you could fly in and take the ferry back to Bluff.

Booked in for a one day tour of Stewart Island.
This would be a unique experience for some. Flying in a small six seater plane, gives a different take on flying. The flight is only a few minutes, the experience lasts a lifetime. Our pilot, gave a very informative commentary as we crossed the strait, and flew into the air strip, at Stewart Island.
A courtesy van, drove the passengers down a rather steep hill, to the town ship.
In all a good experience. I booked the one day tour, of Stewart island, and found good value for money.

the pilots might change after a while, but the senior staff and owners which are actively involved in all part of the business keep it always most reliable and flexible. as with all business:
the people who run it, the people you encounter make it what it is!

I will admit I was terrified to fly in such a small plane (a 10-seater) but it seemed like a much better option than hanging my head over the rail of the ferry for an hour. The trip to Stewart Island was quick and even though it was bumpy at times, it was OK because it didn't last too long. My husband and daughter thoroughly enjoyed the views from the plane and were not bothered at all by the "bumps". We found all staff to be friendly and courteous, both on the island and at Invercargill. It was expensive but I have to believe it was much better than a turbulent ferry ride.
