We were 2 groups of 5 and took two back to back rides over the Bay of Islands all the way up to the Hole in the Rock. It was the first time for most of us and we throughly enjoyed it. Great crew and a special shout out to the young man who was extra patient with my 4 young nephews and showee them around a helicopter and shared lots of interesting titbits :)

Wow! Absolutely amazing. We did the 20 minutes Bay of Islands Tour. It was our first helicopter flight and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Our pilot Josh was amazing, very knowledgable and made us feel relaxed. The ground staff were very courteous and polite too. The scenery is breathtaking and a must do activity whilst in the area.

An absolutely awesome helicopter flight over the bay of Islands. Landing on the top of Motukokako Island was breathtaking. Our Pilot gave us a tour commentary throughout the 45 min flight taking us over some very interesting islands. Highly recommended to all who love flying and viewing the landscape from the air.

Highly recommend the Cape Reinga half day tour!!
This is by far the best way to experience the Far North all in one, especially some very remote parts that you can’t access via land.
Our pilot/driver Jonathon was an absolute gent, he was very informative and friendly!
The sand dunes are amazing, Cape Reinga overlooking Cape Maria Van Diemen and where the Tasman and Pacific oceans meet is absolutely breathtaking along with all the incredible views of the bays and harbours along the way! Great team of people and well worth the money!
A Far North must do!

The helicopter ride was a spur of the moment thing for our family. It was worth it! Peter, the guy we spoke with to book our trip was funny and very helpful. I was nervous at first but the view was breathtaking! A must try in Bay of Islands!
