Board your private helicopter and lift off on an adventure across 3 National Parks!

Your flight begins by tracking south, ascending towards New Zealand’s fifth largest National Park.

Nelson Lakes National Park

The Nelson Lakes National Park is home to craggy mountain ranges, crystal clear blue lakes and tranquil beech forests. At 7000ft you will take in the grandeur of 102,000 hectares at the northernmost tip of New Zealand’s Southern Alps.

Clearest Water in the World

View some of the clearest natural water in the world from the air, deep glacial carved valleys and experience the untouched beauty the Nelson Lakes is known for.

Kahurangi National Park

From the Nelson Lakes, your helicopter will next track for the Kahurangi National Park. Our flight path offers an unrivalled perspective, exploring the famous Lord of the Rings film locations at Mt Owen and Mt Olympus from the air along with mineral belts and some of New Zealand’s oldest rock formations that have created a diverse environment, best enjoyed from the air.

Choose your landing!

Your Kahurangi landing could be one of the following:

  • Lord of the Rings Film Location
  • Alpine Lake with waterfall walk
  • Mountain Peak

Abel Tasman National Park: Abel Tasman is the smallest of New Zealand’s National Parks, however arguably the most beautiful.

Awaroa Beach Landing: Surrounded by dense green native bush and turquoise waters, this stretch of golden sand is so exquisite that a group of New Zealanders banded together to buy it for the country. You’ll have time for a walk, a swim, or lunch at the lodge.

Return via the stunning Tasman Bay coastline.
