Helicopter Flight & Alpine Landing, 20 Minutes - Queenstown

A true bucket-list experience, this 20-minute helicopter flight journey showcases one of New Zealand’s most iconic mountain ranges from a perspective few get to experience. Lift off from the base near Queenstown Airport and soar above the stunning Wakatipu Basin, taking in sweeping views of Queenstown and the surrounding landscapes. As you approach The Remarkables—one of only two mountain ranges in the world that runs directly North-South—prepare for breathtaking scenery that highlights the raw beauty of this remarkable region.

Flying over the winding Shotover and Kawarau Rivers, your experienced pilot will share informative commentary throughout the flight, bringing the landscape to life as you climb towards the mountains. The adventure continues with an alpine landing at a remote location among The Remarkables, giving you the chance to step out and fully immerse yourself in the scenery. During winter months, conditions may allow for a snow landing, adding an extra layer of excitement to this unforgettable experience. With incredible views of Lake Wakatipu, the Southern Alps and Queenstown throughout the journey, this is the perfect flight for capturing epic photos and experiencing Queenstown from above.
