Glenorchy Air is a Queenstown-based, family-owned and operated scenic flight company. Their modern fleet ensures passengers have an unobstructed view of the stunning locations they fly over. Whether travelling to Milford Sound, Mt. Cook, Mt. Aspiring, Stewart Island, or beyond, there are many flight options to suit everyone’s time, budget, and sense of adventure.

The flight I would recommend the most for photography is the Mount Aspiring Sunrise flight during winter. The views are absolutely incredible and it is honestly one of the best scenic flights I've ever experienced.

Photographing from a moving object like a plane at sunrise can be quite a challenge but my best advice would be to set your ISO high, your shutter speed at least 1/500 sec and your aperture around F7. You will need to constantly adjust your ISO as the sun rises and the scene gets lighter, so it definitely requires some effort.
