Full Description

From our convenient helibase at Nelson Airport, you will board one of our modern helicopters and track west into the heart of the Kahurangi. Our first stop lands at a remote alpine location where we can enjoy the overwhelming surroundings of New Zealand’s second-largest National Park. From the mountains, we descend further west to Westhaven Inlet and track the rugged and remotely beautiful wild North West coastline for a landing on the beach, where we can explore sand dunes and eroded rock formations. Here we will sit back, relax, and enjoy a gourmet picnic lunch and a glass of local wine. After lunch, we lift off to explore Farewell Spit ...
