This is great experience and we have now done it twice. Great welcome by Vincent and Alison made us feel very much at ease. Vincent inspires great confidence and it's amazing that you actually fly this beautiful little stunt plane. Great activity to choose. Can't recommend it too highly. Some breath taking action and scenery. More

Did this on a whim after seeing a brochure in the hotel lobby - this was one of the best experiences of my life. Vincent is a total professional - felt totally safe and secure at all times. You only do as much as you are comfortable with - but you just might surprise yourself with your daring - I... More

At first when I read the reviews I thought they had to be rigged: it seemed too good to be true. Now that I did it I can only confirm what everybody else is thinking. Allison and Vincent are the nicest persons we met in NZ. They really like what they do and know how to make you feel welcome,... More

I am writing this for my husband Gary because it was his highlight of his entire trip in New Zealand. Here is what he said about this flight, " After doing an aerobatic flight in a Tigermoth in Wanaka with Classic Flights and being a veteran to aerobatic flying, I was a bit more prepared for the U-Fly Pitts (sort...

Amazing experience and Vince and his wife were friendly and lovely. Best experience I’ve ever had. This is a must do activity!!!!!! You were able to fly the plane and do a selection of acrobatic activities but also was able to see some beautiful views. This activity ticked all the boxes ☺ More

I was in NZ for 5 weeks traveling around the country and was lucky enough to run into Vincent and U-Fly. I had done a bunch of other adrenaline activities bungy at Nevis and Taupo, ice climbing, rafting and others but this was by far the sickest thing I've ever done in my life, ever. At around 500 ft Vincent... More

I visited New Zealand on an "adrenaline" type trip from the north island all the way to Milford Sound doing it all... bungy jumping, canyon swinging, sky diving, riverboarding, whitewater rafting... you name it. My time flying with Vincent (and prep with his super nice wife) in the stunt plane blew everything else out of the water. The plane is... More
