Helicopter Tours in Wanaka

Take your Queenstown visit to new 'heights' of adventure thanks to this 50-minute helicopter flight complete with a glacier landing. Soar above the spectacular scenery of Mt. Aspiring National Park, gliding above turquoise ice formations, hidden alpine lakes and towering mountains before landing on top of a glacier for photos.

Take to the skies on a 50-minute Queenstown helicopter flight that includes a snow landing on Jura Glacier. Soar above Lake Wakatipu's northern shores and discover unparalleled views of New Zealand's Southern Alps from an aerial perspective. After your pilot lands atop the glacier, snap photos of surrounding alpine peaks, such as Mt Aspiring, before the return helicopter ride over glacier-fed lakes and the Rees and Dart River valleys.

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.

This extensive 3-hour small group helicopter tour takes in the highlights of Mt Aspiring and Fiordland National Parks. You will visit remote mountain ranges with deep valleys carved by ice, experiencing the diversity of the Southern Alps with their extensive ice plateaus, the temperate rainforests of Fiordland and Milford Sound and the wild and rugged West Coast. See the pinnacle of the National Park, Mt Aspiring before returning to the Matukituki Valley. 

One of the best ways to experience the snow-capped mountains around Wanaka is to take a scenic flight above and within them. On this helicopter tour to Mount Aspiring and nearby glaciers, you not only fly around the spectacular sights but make two Alpine landings, for close-up views. 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.

Get aerial views of Mount Aspiring National Park, Fiordland National Park, and Milford Sound on a spectacular 1-hour, 15-minute flight from Queenstown. Every person in the 7-seater aircraft has a window seat, so you'll look straight down at the South Island's remarkable glaciers, lakes, waterfalls, and peaks. 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.
