Excellent adventure with Toby. He gave us a slew of information as we flew over the Bay of Islands, working our way to the Hole in the Rock. Near the top of the rock, we landed on a small platform where Toby took us on a walk to some vantage points. Then we flew back to town via a different path.
The service at Salt Air and with our pilot were great. We took off just adjacent to the port dock. A wonderful experience.

Just a beautiful flight. Pilot Paul was great! Landed on the hole in the rock pad and walked a bit. The water was so clear we even saw a manta ray.
