Helicopter flight from Queenstown with accommodation collection, safety briefing and a snow landing in the southern lakes region before return.

Tour Overview

Begin with complimentary collection from your Queenstown accommodation, then head to base for a detailed flight and safety briefing before takeoff.

From base, the helicopter lifts into the alpine scenery of the southern lakes region and flies to your pilot’s chosen mountain for a snow landing. Touching down among the snow, you have time to take in the surroundings and enjoy the winter setting in your own way. You might build a snow man, sledge down the mountain, have a snowball fight, or simply stand in the snow and take your picture on top of the world.

After time on the mountain, re-board the helicopter and continue over alpine scenery on the return flight to base. The experience combines a scenic helicopter journey with time on the snow, giving you a clear sense of the high country landscape around Queenstown.

This tour is centred on the flight from base, the snow landing on your pilot’s favourite mountain in the southern lakes region, and the return to base. With accommodation collection included and a full briefing before departure, the day is straightforward from the start, leaving you free to focus on the flight, the snow, and the mountain setting.
