The Seaward Ranges Scenic Flight – 25 minutes

Take to the skies for a breathtaking 25-minute flight over Kaikōura’s mountains, coastline, and peninsula. Departing from Kaikōura Airport, you’ll climb to approximately 6,000 feet for true mountain flying as you pass behind Mount Fyffe, with spectacular views of rugged peaks, waterfalls, fresh snow, and even wild deer if you have sharp eyes.

Next, fly over Lake Hapuku and follow the northern coastline toward the Kaikōura Peninsula, taking in sweeping views of black sand beaches, the deep blue Pacific Ocean, and the Seaward Kaikōura Ranges. As you circle the peninsula, spot resident seals along the rocky shoreline and enjoy a bird’s-eye perspective of one of New Zealand’s most iconic landscapes.

This flight is the perfect way to appreciate the dramatic contrasts of Kaikōura, where mountains meet the sea and marine life thrives. A truly unforgettable experience for nature lovers, photographers, and adventure seekers alike.
