The Weather
For safety reasons we are not able to fly in very low visibility conditions. Mist, fog, and widespread rain can cause low visibility. Some light drizzle or occasional showers are generally not a problem, and strong winds are more a passenger comfort not safety issue.

As far as course conditions go, your experience and ability will determine your decision to depart on the day. Kauri Cliffs can be a challenging course in strong winds, feel free to contact the Pro Shop
