Posted onVerified A view like nothing else, I'm hooked We had an awesome experience on the Bay Explorer. We got to view rolling hillside, beautiful surf beaches, a waterfall, islands, forests, livestock. You name it, within 30 mins. Our pilot was so relaxed and we felt super confident in his care. He was knowledgeable and an excellent guide. Highly recommend this, it's an experience not to be missed.Posted onVerified Mt Maunganui, waterfall and beach landing helicopter tour OMG this tour was unbelievably breathtaking and memorable. Our pilot Will was very professional, easygoing, very knowledgeable, friendly, safety conscious and accommodating to our requests. Roger the mechanic and pick up driver was also very kind humble and friendly. Thankyou so much for the beach experience Will, my wife and I won't forget that HaHaHa, we had a great experience and we recommend this helicopter tour (the beach landing) for everybody especially if you don't have time to walk up Mt Maunganui. 10/10Posted onVerified A wonderful experience. Will was a great pilot and told us lots about the local area and answered any questions that we had. I would highly recommend this experience to anybody, even families with children.Posted onVerified Happy Birds Thrilling. Amazing. Fun. We three had an awesome experience on the Kaimai Classic. Our view from on high gave us a new perspective on the familiar, or what we thought was familiar, and took us to new places we'd never seen. 45 minutes of flying, with a brief landing mid-flight, was a really decent amount of flying. Other, shorter flights have flashed by way too fast. This was Just Right! Though who wouldn't like more sometime!! Pilot Will was considerate, informative and friendly. A wonderful gift or treat.Posted onVerified Lifestyles of the rich and famous! I felt like such a superstar riding with these guys. What an absolutely cool thing to do. My boyfriend and I flew around Mount Maunganui, getting the most amazing view, and over to a small island that you can't get to from land or sea. Then we were dropped off in Waihi for lunch before driving their AC Cobra back from Waihi to Tauranga.It was one of the best days ever. And the rain kept away long enough for us to drive in the roofless car!Such a cool experience. Of course it's on the pricey end of the scale, but well worth it for a different adventure or celebration.Posted onVerified 空からのタウランガの宝物 海岸、山、すべてが美しく、kiwiの畑も見えました。パイロットはとても安全で慎重で私たちに素敵な空の旅をさせてくれました。とても楽しかったです。Posted onVerified Amazing Fabulous flight with super friendly staff. Our first ever helicopter flight and am so glad we did it. Amazing to see this beautiful area from above. Would highly recommend.Posted onVerified Excellent Scenic Experience This was a first helicopter flight for one of us and we both had a great time. The views were spectacular and stopping off at the beach was great (thanks for the photo taking). It was amazing to see the area from the sky, seeing the 'little people' climbing The Mount and beautiful colours in the bay. Thanks for a great experience!Posted onVerified Flight out to White Island Lawrence and the guys were amazing, they provided us with pretty much a "charter flight" out to White Isalnd at our request (not landing on it, which was fine!) Somuch knowledge on the Bay of Plenty and things to look out for both in the water and on land as we flew down the coastline before heading out to White Island. We did several laps of the island, and was explained so much about the island and volcano and dropped down to see sea and birdlife. Landed on the flight back for some out of chopper photos - just an amazing awesome experience.Thanks heaps guy - was worth every penny!!!Posted onVerified Great chopper ride to Wahi beach for luinch Was taken on a surprise helicopter ride from Tauranga to Wahi beach for lunch. My amazing 1st trip on this helicopter with 6 others. Very powerful & fast helicopter which was really smooth & much more enjoyable than a plane. Would definitely do it again.friendly helpful staff & felt really safe
