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

U Fly Extreme is an outstanding experience even for someone with a private pilot’s liscence like myself. The team there (Vincent the pilot and his wife with stuff) do a great job and the facility as such is in extraordinary good shape. The plane, well the plane is very well maintained, super clean and actually looks like just coming out... More

I discovered Uflyextreme on the internet and my wife and I made Motueka a stop over on our touring holiday of the South Island. Rang Vincent on the morning of my flight and we were met at the airport where they have an office. After a thorough briefing we were soon airborne and no longer than 30 seconds later I... More
