Scenic helicopter flight from Queenstown to a mountain peak for a private champagne picnic, with views over Lake Wakatipu and the Southern Alps.

Tour Overview

The Picnic on the Peak combines a scenic helicopter flight with time set aside on a mountain peak above Queenstown. Departing from the Over The Top helibase, you will fly to a mountainous location overlooking Queenstown, with wide views across the Wakatipu Basin, Lake Wakatipu and the Southern Alps.

Once on the peak, the experience slows down. You will be left to enjoy a champagne picnic in a high alpine setting, with meats, cheeses, salad, fruit and a selection of beverages provided. The format is flexible, allowing you to stay and take in the surroundings for as long as you desire before the helicopter returns.

The return flight adds another perspective, with a bird's-eye view of Queenstown on the way back to the Over The Top heli base. This excursion suits a range of occasions, including a romantic outing, a family experience or a group celebration, but the focus remains simple, a private picnic setting paired with elevated views over Queenstown’s mountain landscape.

    Cecil Peak

    The Picnic on the Peak is one of our most popular & unique excursions, perfect for a romantic occasion, family experience or a group celebration! Queenstown has some of the most breath-taking scenery in New Zealand and what better way to enjoy the remarkable views of Lake Wakatipu and the Southern Alps, than enjoying a champagne picnic perched high up on one of the peaks. Over The Top will fly you from its helibase to a mountainous location which overlooks Queenstown where you will have 180 degree views of the Wakatipu Basin. Here you will be left to enjoy your champagne picnic of meats, cheeses, salad, fruit and a selection of beverages for as long as you desire. The helicopter will return to collect you when you’re ready and provide you with a bird's-eye view of Queenstown, before heading back to the Over The Top heli base.
