Flying Visit to Lochmara Lodge
The stunning Lochmara Lodge is a popular destination for locals and visitors a like. Close to Picton, Lochmara seems a world away. Their emphasis on sustainability and conservation makes it easy to relax in natural surroundings.
Lochmara Lodge is a short hop over the Queen Charlotte Sound from Picton, but we won’t let you miss out on the experience of the Marlborough Sounds. We will fly you the scenic route over the bush clad ridges and explore the hidden coves that can only be accessed by small boat or helicopter.
After our truly unforgettable flight we land at Lochmara. A gentle bush walk takes you down to the café where you can have lunch and refreshments before enjoying the many activities the Lodge has to offer.
