What's included?

36 minute scenic helicopter flight
Expert pilot and commentary

Reach new heights and see Auckland's striking West Coast from birds-eye view during this spectacular 36 minute scenic flight. Lifting off from Albany, your pilot will track west to Bethells (Te Henga) Beach, then down the coastline for awe-inspiring vistas of surf-pounded black sand beaches and volcanic cliffs with jagged rocks and caves. Continue over the luscious Waitakere Ranges with water reservoirs hidden throughout, before leaving primordial New Zealand behind for outer-city suburbs. 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.
