What you can expect
Discover the Southern Alps on a one hour scenic helicopter flight from Wanaka, complete with a landing on alpine snow in the heart of the ranges. Your day starts with an in depth safety briefing from experienced staff at the airport, then you lift off with a professional pilot and watch the valley open out below you.
From the air you will take in sheer rock faces, waterfalls tumbling from the tops and lush native forest running up the lower slopes, before the country turns to bare stone and snow deeper into the mountains. The highlight comes when the pilot sets the helicopter down on the snow itself, giving you time to step out, take photos and soak up the quiet with alpine peaks all around you. The flight runs at any time of year, so it suits nature lovers and photographers in every season. Bring warm layers and a camera you can work with cold hands.
