45-Minute Queenstown Essential Scenic Helicopter Flight with Two Alpine Landings
Discover the best of Queenstown on a 45-minute scenic helicopter flight. Take off over Lake Wakatipu before soaring into the heart of the mountains, where your expert pilot will select two breathtaking landing sites. From the dramatic ridgelines of Cecil Peak to the towering faces of The Remarkables or the wild beauty of Skippers Canyon, each landing site is chosen to suit the day’s unique conditions, meaning no two flights are ever the same. With two landings, sweeping views and endless photo opportunities, this experience captures the very essence of Queenstown from every angle.
