We had booked to do a day trip on Stewart Island with a couple of extra tours in March 2024. Unfortunately, the night before we were due to travel, my partner became unwell and tested positive for COVID that morning which meant we had to cancel the trip at very short notice ( outside the required 48 hour cancellation window). In spite of this, due to the circumstances, Stewart Island Flights went out of their way to resell our afternoon flight and bus tour and chose to refund us for these costs even though they were not legally required to do so.

We were very grateful and think this shows the quality and integrity of the company, thank you very much :-)

The staff at Stewart Island flights are exceptional, particularly Amy and Shona. They were great at suggestions for our trip and Shona gave us a very informative bus tour . Her personal touches and input made the tour really memorable and enjoyable. Would highly recommend to every visitor . The flights were terrific- well organised , easy and fantastic scenery. Would be my first choice every time !! Thank you .

Amazing experience taking the plane to Stewart Island. Very easy check in etc at Invercargill airport. Flight takes approximately 30 minutes and we were lucky that both outbound and inbound flights we took were not too bumpy as the weather was good. We certainly felt the extra cost above the ferry was worth it

Pilot Leon was absolutely amazing! When we had to change our pick up date from dough boy bay he made it all work for us, he was friendly with our kids and us. I would highly recommend flying with them. The pilot who took up back from Oban let our youngest boy sit in the passenger seat which he can't stop talking about. Fantastic air line with the most friendly and accommodating pilots, thank you guys so much for making our experience the best while being on steward island! Tye family!

Quick flight and friendly staff. If you can deal with the 15kg baggage limit, it’s absolutely worth doing. It was about $5 more than the ferry if you include the invercargill shuttle.
If you’re hiking, I recommend ferry there and fly back so you can buy the gas cans and food on the mainland (cheaper) and you’ll be lighter after eating it. You can’t take gas on the plane.
