We offer daily scenic helicopter flights over the mountains, lakes, glaciers and fiords in and around Middle-earth, Queenstown, Milford Sound and Fiordland National Park & Mt Aspiring National Park. Alpine or snow landings are part of all our flights and glacier landings are included in all our Milford Sound flights.

We have the most experienced team of helicopter pilots in Queenstown who will share their extensive local knowledge with you. For Lord of the Rings and the Hobbit fans we can show you many of the Queenstown film locations like nobody else, with pilots who were part of the film crew

We offer a range of helicopter tours from 10 to 90 minutes duration with exciting glacier and snow landing options. Our scenic flights encompass Queenstown, Milford Sound and Fiordland World Heritage Park flying in & around some of the most magnificent mountain peaks, crystal clear lakes and unusual glaciers you'll find anywhere in the world. Our action flights combine a thrilling helicopter flight with jetboating, hiking, mountain biking and skiing / snowboarding.

Our Premier helicopter flights for those seeking something a little more special include extended flying time, allowing you to explore Fiordland National Park and further afield in greater detail and get far off the beaten track. The highlight of all these luxury helicopter tours has to be shutting down on a remote alpine peak to take some time out, enjoying a delicious picnic and wine. Perfect for couples and groups of up to 6 looking to celebrate a special occasion.
