Twenty-Minute Remarkables Scenic Helicopter Flight with Alpine Landing & Southern Alps Panorama
Lift off from Frankton and soar into the jagged beauty of The Remarkables mountain range – one of only two ridges in the world running north to south. This 20-minute helicopter flight delivers aerial views of Lake Wakatipu, Queenstown, and surrounding alpine icons like Cecil and Coronet Peaks. The alpine landing allows you to step onto pristine mountain terrain – snowy in winter – for hillside snapshots and mountain air. Pilots weave in commentary about the region’s unique geography and history, making it a scenic rush filled with altitude and atmosphere.
