Scenic Flights

Our scenic flights showcase the best of Auckland City and its surrounds, Waiheke, Rangitoto Volcano and the Hauraki Gulf. Those flights offer the best opportunity to enjoy the skyline of New Zealand’s largest metropolis, peek into the crater of a dormant volcano and marvel at the colours of the ocean and the stunning cliff top mansions along the coast and on the cliff-tops.

With a large resident population of dolphins, orca and whales there is also a good chance to spot some of them and to watch all the marine activities from small sailing boats to superyachts.

You can use your mobile phone on our scenic flights and take as many pictures as you like. The pilots will provide expert commentary on points of special interest and the history of Tamaki Makaurau, the Maori name for Auckland.

Island Aviations 4- and 10-seater aircraft provide all window seats and are easily accessible. If you would like to fly over a  particular location we can adjust the flight plans to your wishes, subject to air traffic control and regulations.
