Booked a one way flight from Stewart Island to Invercargill, having taken the ferry from Bluff and wanting to see the arial view, as well as save time. It was easy to book online, and the office is easy to reach from the center of town in Stewart Island. The flight itself was gorgeous! Beautiful landscape. The pilot was funny... More

Booked a full day tour through them, which included a trip over to Ulva Island and a sightseeing trip around Steware Island. The flight over was good fun and very much a small operation (the guy who checked me in for the flight turned out to also be the pilot!) Once we'd got over to Stewart Island, first order of... More

The short 20 minute flight is great for gaining a perspective of Stewart Island from the air. You land over the township and have great views down to the south and west which bring home the size of the island. It is expensive but they do great standbys and other deals so well worth checking out More

We chose the flights over the ferry as there wasn't a lot of difference price-wise, and we could leave excess baggage at Invercargill airport. It fitted in with us dropping off a hire car at the airport and collecting one on our return. Went over on a 10-seater and 15-yr-old son got to sit next to the pilot. You fly... More

As part of our self-drive tour of New Zealand, we wanted to visit Stewart Island and opted for the Full Day Tour provided by Stewart Island Flights. I made the booking by phone 3 days in advance paying over the phone by credit card. This was carried out with great efficiency and cheerfulness. Our day started with a check-in at... More
