About

The Flyer in South Island can be found at 221 Kent Street in Kingston 9793, a small settlement at the southern end of the island. The venue operates as an attraction, and its website at http://www.thekingstonflyer.nz/ carries the listing's own details. Queenstown, Christchurch, Dunedin, Nelson, Blenheim, Wanaka, Te Anau and Kaikoura sit across the wider South Island from that southern base.

What the attraction is known for comes through in its following: a 4.9 out of 5 average across 76 reviews, a figure that reflects a steady stream of visitors rather than mass traffic. First-time visitors should expect a visit built around the Kingston setting, with the surrounding landscape forming part of the draw. Kingston's position near the bottom of the island means reaching it from the main centres involves a longer drive, and it pairs naturally with a Queenstown stop on the same route.

Ferries reach Waiheke, the Hauraki Gulf islands and Stewart Island, and a Cook Strait service links the two main islands, so crossing between islands is part of how many visitors move around the country. Tūī, kererū and other native birds are common, and dolphins, fur seals and seabirds are seen around the coast.

English is the main language and te reo Māori is also official, so Māori place names are used throughout the country. The southern location puts Kingston within reach of the island's scenic driving routes.
