Full Description

Enjoy a very cool experience with our epic snow landing over Queenstown. Pack your coat and your camera for a truly elevated experience.

Winter Wonderland awaits with this snow-filled sojourn. It will be 30 minutes that you never forget as we take you up into the mountains and touch down in the snow for some chilly but spectacular photography opportunities (and some if-you-dare snowball fights!).

The return flight will give you expansive views over the Whakatipu basin.
Most of our flights during winter will get you to the snow. We also have an Alpine Snow Landing available at Heli Glenorchy.
