Unbelieve experience! We went on the Fiordlands Finest. Without doubt with every dollar. The booking process was easy, the pilot was incredibly knowlegable and made it a very smooth trip. We went on incredible hikes while in NZ and this was by far the best experience.

Both pilots (Louie and Craig) were very friendly, professional, and knew a ton about the are...
