Can't recommend this trip enough. Joseph, our pilot, was terrific--he made us feel safe, gave us great info during the flight, and was lovely all around. I was a very nervous flier but the flight was calm and easy and the views were stunning. We did the Ultimate Day Package and enjoyed both the Village and Bays tour and the Ulva Island Explorer with Real NZ. Jan and Karen's passion for the bird watching and the fauna was contagious. The box lunch was delicious and given to us as we waited for the Ulva Island trip. What a great day trip from Queenstown.

Absolutely loved the Stewart Island experience with Glenorchy Air. The flight was stunning and Michael our pilot was fantastic and very knowledgeable. It was the perfect amount of time to explore the township, have lunch and jump on a water taxi to explore Ulva Island. Highly recommend this trip!

We had an amazing day flying to Stewart Island with Glenorchy Air. We felt in very safe hands with Joseph, our pilot, who supplied interesting and fun facts during the flight and helped to coordinate things on the ground at Stewart Island for us. Stewart Island and Ulva Island tours were brilliant for understanding remote island life, local wildlife conservation and the super knowledgeable bird guides. I would love to go back to Stewart Island and stay overnight for a chance of seeing Kiwis and being able to spend more time on Ulva Island. The views from the plane were amazing!
