Terms

Flight times are approximate only.

Flights and exact routes are subject to weather permitting and at the sole discretion of the pilot in order to maintain safety for both passengers and aircraft.

Each float plane can carry up to 5 passengers. Weight restrictions do apply.

We require the total combined passenger's weight, and if an individual passenger's weight exceeds 110kg, it is imperative that our office is informed prior to flight. This is a Civil Aviation and Aircraft Manufacturing requirement to ensure our aircraft operate within its weight and balance limitations. Failure to supply accurate combined weights could result in your departure time being altered or, in some instances, additional costs being applied.

A standard tariff applies up to a maximum individual passenger weight of 110kg.

We reserve the right to cancel your flight at any time due to weather and safety precautions.
