What To Expect
Get access to the magnificent splendor of the South Island with aerial views over Lake Wakatipu on a 20-minute helicopter flight and landing in the Remarkables mountains.

Once on board, fasten your seatbelt and enjoy the stunning sights as your skilled pilot delivers informative commentary while heading to your landing spot. The helicopter's hovering ability provides an ideal way to take in the breathtaking alpine landscapes, including the pristine waterway of Lake Wakatipu below.
Experience an up-close and personal view of the Remarkables mountain range during your scenic flight. Then, hop out for an alpine landing with an awe-inspiring panoramic vista that extends all the way to the Southern Alps. Once you have captured plenty of selfies, climb back into your helicopter for the return ride to the base, where you will be transferred back to your Queenstown hotel.
