Air Charter

For travellers who have limited time to visit Nelson we offer an air charter option. The Beechcraft 200B executive twin turboprop will reduce travel time especially to and from other regions that are not serviced by direct flights from Nelson. See below for some flight times.

The Beechcraft is based in Nelson and seats 6 in an executive layout with plenty of luggage capacity, depending on numbers of passengers. The plane is operated by valued business partners so flights integrate directly with other Simply Wild activities.

The saving of time for travellers is significant when connecting Nelson with airports outside Auckland, Wellington or Christchurch. As an example connecting with Queenstown, the earliest flight arrives in Nelson at 12:50pm and the last flight leaves Nelson at 12:45pm with the travel time between 2 ½ to 3 ½ hours. In both cases especially going to Queenstown leaves little time to explore Nelson. Also consider the flexibility of the departure times and the saving of time and hassles with check in and baggage.

Average travel times in the Beechcraft to or from Nelson are:
Blenheim – 15 min
Kaikoura – 30 min
Christchurch – 40 min
Mt Cook – 55 min
Queenstown – 1hr 15 min
