Soar over mountains and valleys on a scenic helicopter flight over Queenstown’s Basin, Paradise Valley, and Mt Aspiring National Park. Glide over dramatic glaciers, impressive ice falls and hidden alpine lakes, before tracing the path of the awe-inspiring Earnslaw Burn, made famous by The Hobbit. Conditions permitting, you’ll touch down on a remote glacier to experience the pristine wilderness underfoot. On the return journey, you’ll soar over historic Skippers Canyon and the rugged peaks of the Forbes Mountain Range.
