Scenic Trial Flight

A scenic trial flight is a short 20-minute, 30-minute, or 1-hour flight in a small aircraft with an experienced instructor at your side. The qualified instructor guides you through a takeoff, flight, and landing, all while having dual control of the plane. The dual control means that you are in the safest hands, and the instructor will only give full control to you when you are confident and comfortable doing so. Also, you have the chance to explore the epic landscape of Central Otago in the upper air. If you have always wanted to learn how to fly, or if you have ‘flying a plane’ on your bucket list, U-Fly Wanaka is the perfect place to book a trial flight. Our highly qualified and experienced instructors have many hours flying in the Lake Wanaka region. They know the area and the conditions, so you are in the safest hands.
