$179pp for a 40-Minute Scenic Flight Over the Royal Albatross Centre & the Otago Peninsula (value up to $360)

Highlights

• Embark on an out-of-this-world adventure without ever even leaving the city—this local 40-minute flight piloted by one of the super experienced and super safe Mainland Air Services team departs Dunedin International Airport, soaring high over the Silver Peaks, Blueskin Bay and Aramoana to Taiaroa Head. 
• You'll fly high over the Royal Albatross Centre, the only mainland albatross colony in the world and home of the giant but majestic northern royal albatross. After circling this ocean-ravaged headland and lighthouse several times the flight will turn south and zig-zag down the spectacular Otago Peninsula—cliffs, bays, and sprawling sand dunes galore. 
• You'll also see the magnificent Lanarch Castle and its expansive gardens from a completely different perspective, appreciating its hilltop isolation and harbour views. You'll then glide over Dunedin's discernible city centre, celebrated Town Belt and the white sand beaches of St Kilda and St Clair. 
• As your flight of fancy comes to an end, you'll continue down the Pacific Coast, including Tunnel Beach, before turning inland at Taieri Mouth to follow a bush-clad tidal gorge right back to the airport. 
• Please note that flights are all subject to weather conditions.
