Christchurch City Scenic flight
Overview
Discover Christchurch from a whole new perspective when you fly over the city. See the progress of the massive rebuild and the abandoned suburbs from the 2010/2011 earthquakes. Christchurch is known as the Garden City and there is no better way to see this other than by the air. Take in the breath-taking views of Pegasus Bay as it sweeps north towards Kaikoura and view the southern alps stretch as far north and south as the eye can see.
Our pilots will personalise this experience for you by sharing their local knowledge and insights of our big backyard as you fly over remarkable sights and landmarks.
