Take a helicopter ride to an idyllic remote spot and soak it all in, take a scenic tour on a Cessna, or be delivered to luxurious resorts and retreats the travel world raves about.

Fly directly to your hiking, biking, fishing, hunting or wine tasting destination and put the time saved by flying with us into relishing being there.

The Nelson Tasman Air Experience

We are aviation professionals who are inventive, passionate, and know this area so well that we can take you places few have seen or experienced. It’s non-stop smiles up here, and fun is always on the agenda!

Want to take a selfie on a golden beach with not another soul in sight? Or with an awesome snow capped mountain top in the background? A heli-experience will do it!

Often it’s the only way to get to these special places, other than long weeks of walking or wading through the bush. Whether you choose to touch down in our Cessna fixed wing plane or wow at unspoilt views from a helicopter – the experience is always magic!

Perfect trip, excellent views of a wonderful part of New Zealand. Easy to book and find. Clean and tidy base and plane. Blair was knowledgeable and gave good commentary through out the flight.

Kate NOur flight

Had a great flight with Blair, (no not Tony), very informative and took notice of my dislike of steep banking, don’t like looking straight down at the ground.Gave us plenty of information about the park and the ubiquitous LOR and Hobbit filming sites.We both really enjoyed the flight and would recommend it to anyone.

Edge-of-the-world16Great flight over the Abel Tasman Park

A MUST-DO! The views of the Abel Tasman and Golden Bay are just stunning and splendid. We had a smooth cosy flight in a small plane and a very friendly pilot – good informative local knowledge, and quite affordable (… and loved the coffee too !). So thank you again, Blair, for a fabulous experience – We hope to make it again your way again.
