Description:

Take to the air over Queenstown and glide over the spectacular scenery of Mount Aspiring National Park on this scenic helicopter flight. This breathtaking adventure includes a snow landing on one of the many glaciers around Mount Forbes as well as explorey of hard-to-reach areas.

Hop inside the chopper and rise up into the sky. Head west over the Queenstown Basin, through the aptly named Paradise Valley, and into Mount Aspiring National Park. Gaze out and admire the ever-changing scenery of rolling mountains, glacial lakes, blue-green glaciers, waterfalls, and more. Your pilot picks out a suitable glacier to land on, and you have a great opportunity to snap pictures and capture the charming environment before heading back into the city.

On your return flight, soar over the former gold-mining area of Skippers Canyon. The excavation of this area has left its legacy on the landscape in an eye-catching way. Traveling by helicopter reveals otherwise unseen spots in nearly impossible to reach places, giving you a complete picture of the whole region.
