Helicopter flight from Queenstown Airport to the Remarkables with one alpine landing and views over Lake Wakatipu and the Wakatipu Basin.

Tour Overview

Check in at This is your check in point before departing from the hangar at Queenstown Airport for an alpine helicopter flight into the Remarkables Mountain range.

The flight includes one alpine landing at Here you wil land on an Alpine location to enjoy views over Lake Wakatipu. After landing, the helicopter shuts down, giving you time to take in the quiet of the alpine setting without the noise of the rotors. From this high vantage point, around one mile above sea level, the outlook stretches across Lake Wakatipu, the surrounding Wakatipu Basin, and the wider mountain landscape.

This is a short scenic experience focused on the contrast between the lift from Queenstown Airport and the stillness of the landing site. The route climbs quickly from the airport to the Remarkables, where the main feature is time on the ground to absorb the scale of the terrain and the broad views over the basin. If you are looking for a helicopter flight with an alpine landing and clear views over Lake Wakatipu, this trip keeps the experience simple and centred on that moment in the mountains.
