Queenstown · QUEENSTOWN SNOW AND ALPINE LANDINGS
The landing is the bit people remember: skids down on a snowfield with nothing else in any direction. These 4 compare air time, how long you get out of the machine and which peaks each operator is licensed to sit on.
Fly above Queenstown and Lake Wakatipu with an English-speaking pilot, then land at a remote alpine site chosen for the day’s weather. The Helicopter Line provides hotel pickup, commentary, and a small-group flight for up to six people. Expect snow in winter, rugged ground in summer, and excellent photo chances.
“Great scenic flight and the pilot was very informative and engaging”
Take a six-passenger helicopter from Frankton over Lake Wakatipu to the Remarkables. Your pilot, with commentary throughout, lands at about 1,538 metres for roughly 10 minutes of mountain views and photos. Hotel pickup and drop-off are included, with warm clothing and sturdy shoes recommended.
“We had a fantastic flight, and Jono, the pilot, was great, he really made the trip enjoyable!! (Enjoy your beer Jono!!)”
Take a 20-minute helicopter flight from Queenstown with an alpine landing on the Remarkables Spur. Your English-speaking pilot points out glaciers, gold-mining sites, film locations, and mountain valleys. Pilots including Archie, Michael, Jack, Kurt, and Alfie are praised for smooth flying and friendly commentary.
“Amazing cured, pilot was 10/10. So much knowledge on the lord of the rings locations (even though we didn’t do that tour he was happy to chat about it)”
Take a 40 to 45 minute helicopter flight from Queenstown Airport, with pickup from select hotels, live pilot commentary, and a snow landing high above town. Walk on the snow, take photos, build a snowman, or enjoy the silence before flying back.
“Best part of the trip. Superb professionalism and safety. Fun to the supreme. A must do while in Queenstown. See sights that you can only imagine.”
A boat, a ridge, a cellar or a canyon.
