Chris Liew –
Just completed the tour—and wow, it truly can’t get better than this.
I visited Auckland a few years ago and spent a few days exploring its attractions, but this experience covered everything I saw back then—and so much more. I genuinely can’t recommend it enough.
Originally, I planned to fly for just half an hour to try it out. But once I started, I couldn’t stop. Lunch could wait—I was completely absorbed!
It interfaced beautifully with the Cessna C172—allowing me to take off, land, and maintain full control throughout the flight. I even flew under the Harbour Bridge!
The tour guide Aroha’s narration was not only informative but also delightfully funny. I learned about Auckland’s wildlife, national treasures, and cultural highlights. It wasn’t just a refresher on the places I had visited; it broadened my understanding of New Zealand as a whole.
I’m absolutely looking forward to joining more tours in the future!
