Overview

The ultimate alpine escape

Discover the hidden side of Fiordland on an unforgettable helicopter adventure over Lake Manapouri, Lake Te Anau and the dramatic mountains in between.

Soar above rugged peaks and glacial landscapes before touching down at two remote wilderness locations. Your first landing takes you to the pristine Norwest Lakes, a secluded alpine setting tucked away in the heart of Fiordland. From here, continue deeper into the Kepler Mountains for your second landing, where alpine tussocks, rugged peaks and expansive views across Lake Te Anau create an unforgettable wilderness experience.

From the air, experience Fiordland from a completely different perspective - an ancient landscape shaped by glaciers, where hidden lakes and mountain ranges stretch far beyond the reach of the road.

Two wilderness landings. Hidden alpine landscapes. One unforgettable Fiordland adventure.
