See the rugged coastline and black sand beaches
Beautiful views of the Waitakere Ranges and Auckland CBD

Reach new heights and see Auckland's striking West Coast from birds-eye view during this spectacular 36 minute scenic flight.

Take in views of Downtown Auckland, Viaduct Harbour and the Sky Tower on route to Waitemata Harbour, the Devonport Naval Base, North Head and out to view the crater of Rangitoto Island, before returning to the heliport.
