Our Self Piloted Flights and Tours | New Zealand

Experience New Zealand with our exclusive holiday and travel packages. 

Our flight-based tours have been developed to provide visitors a memorable experience of all that New Zealand has to offer. With Flight Adventures New Zealand we provide the opportunity for licensed pilots to enjoy being a pilot throughout their tour, with the support of a local NZ based guide pilot.

Our Structured Tours

Within our structured tours we offer:

For our structured tours, the aircraft generally used is a 4 seater Cessna 172 180hp single engine.

Our Custom-Designed Tours

For those seeking a customised tour, fully tailored to their own personal interests and desired destinations, we can happily provide this service. We will discuss with you some key points, e.g. your desired length of tour, locations/regions to visit, and any land-based activities of interest. From this we can provide a tour tailored to meet your requirements.

Custom Holiday | Base Camp Whitianga

If you would like to be based from one central base camp, in Whitianga, we can easily develop a holiday that offers a great combination of single day flights, interesting local land-based activities, and timeout for rest and relaxation enjoying our local beaches, walks and cycle ways. Let’s not forget about taking time out to enjoy some great dining at our local restaurants and cafes. 

 From our base camp, we offer the opportunity for you to enjoy some spectacular scenic flights, combined with the pleasure of self-piloting a 4 seater plane provided by us.
