Flight-seeing can offer a very different view of New Zealand, whether visitors are flying over an active offshore volcano or whale-watching off the coast of Kaikoura. For a peaceful variation, visitors can float effortlessly over the landscape in a glider. Another tranquil option is a scenic flight in a hot air balloon. And for an adrenaline rush you can’t beat skydiving!
