Whether you're gifting it to a local who wants to rediscover their city from above or a traveller keen to see the heart of New Zealand, this scenic flight experience is sure to make a lasting impression.

This Whites Aviation Wellington City Scenic Flight takes off from Wellington Airport and provides a comprehensive 45–60-minute aerial tour that showcases the very best of the city and its surroundings. The small aircraft, designed specifically for scenic flights, offers a maximum of six passengers per journey, ensuring that every guest is treated to guaranteed window seats for the best possible viewing experience. The planes are equipped with high wings, giving a full and unobstructed view of the city and its landmarks.

As the flight departs, passengers are greeted with stunning views of Wellington Harbour—one of the most picturesque harbours in the world. From above, they can take in the sparkling waters of the harbour, the South Coast, and the Cook Strait. The flight will glide over Oriental Bay, where golden sand beaches meet the urban sprawl, before heading inland to capture the essence of the city’s impressive hilltop backdrop, including the famous Mount Victoria and Mount Kaukau. Wellington’s diverse natural beauty is clearly visible from above, with sprawling hillsides, lush valleys, and numerous inlets that tell the story of the land’s volcanic origins.

One of the most striking sights is the dramatic view of Zealandia, Wellington’s renowned wildlife sanctuary. From the air, passengers can marvel at the sanctuary's extensive forest reserves, home to some of New Zealand’s most unique native wildlife. Beyond Zealandia, the flight continues toward Makara, where the wild coast and rugged terrain offer a sharp contrast to the city’s urban landscapes.

The experience also includes flying over Wellington’s CBD, with panoramic views of its iconic Parliament Buildings, the Beehive, and the picturesque streets that make the city so vibrant. Wellington’s eclectic mix of modern and heritage architecture is beautifully complemented by its natural surroundings, making the aerial journey a feast for the eyes.

The flight is conducted by a CAA-certified pilot, who provides live commentary throughout the journey, offering insight into Wellington’s history, local landmarks, and the city’s rich Māori heritage. This is more than just a sightseeing flight—it’s an educational experience, where guests learn about Wellington’s geological past, its cultural significance, and the people who have shaped its development.
