The pilot will help orient you with live commentary throughout the flight, and when you reach Milford Sound, will guide the plane into a descent for great views of Stirling Falls and Mitre Peak.

This extensive 3-hour small group helicopter tour takes in the highlights of Mt Aspiring and Fiordland National Parks.

One of the best ways to experience the snow-capped mountains around Wanaka is to take a scenic flight above and within them.

An exciting and memorable excursion for travelers short on time in the Southern Alps, or for anyone who enjoys a thrill with their mountain views.

The Matukituki Valley is known for its stunning views, but they're better when experienced from above. This helicopter tour gives you the chance to see a lot of the valley's remote backcountry and Mount Aspiring National Park from the sky during a roughly 25-minute flight. You'll soar above one of New Zealand's most beautiful areas and touch down on snow year-round.
