Head west over the Queenstown basin and Paradise Valley into Mt. Aspiring National Park during this 50-minute glacier explorer helicopter flight from Queenstown.

Enjoy an exhilarating flight past spectacular mountains and blue-green ice falls before landing on one of the many glaciers within the Forbes Mountains. Spend some time taking photos before heading back towards Queenstown, past hidden alpine lakes and the rich gold mining history of Skippers Canyon.

Fly through landscapes which contain many stories of the natural and human history of New Zealand and the Southern Lakes. During your flight you'll see how glaciers and the movement of the earth's crust formed the area's unique mountains and valleys. Plenty of evidence also remains of the rich gold mining history left by Europeans and Chinese gold miners in the late 1800s.

Throughout your flight you'll benefit from the service of the most experienced team of helicopter pilots in Queenstown. Your highly experienced, well-known local pilots will share their extensive knowledge of the area with you while showing you the best of New Zealand's amazing scenery.

Please note that there may not be snow on the day of your flight depending on the season, especially during summer.
