Get down to Queenstown, Wakatipu aeroclub would be a good base if your wanting to get out there, they have some great instructors who will go out there with you.
Fly into Milford Sound, thats a lifetime experience!!!
Yep agreed there. My bet would be Queenstown if you want an experience. Great spot down there, although rates aren't on the cheap...
