Take in the majestic Mackenzie on this breathtaking 25 minute helicopter flight with landing. Fly over the snow capped mountains of the Southern Alps and be inspired by the unbelievable views of the ancient glaciers below, before landing in a private spot to step outside and soak it all up.
Experience the Mackenzie like never before on this 25 minute exceptional scenic flight with an alpine landing. Taking off from the Mackenzie Helicopter base, you’ll fly through the snow capped mountains of the Southern Alps, and over the shimmering turquoise Lake Tekapo. Take in the grandeur, exotic colours and dramatic landscapes of the stunning Mackenzie Basin, soaring over iconic country sheep and beef farms, rugged wilderness and rolling hills. You’ll then get the opportunity to land in a private spot, and step out to take in the panoramic views of alpine lakes and valleys carved out of ancient glaciers. Breathe in the fresh air, absorb the views and snap some pictures with your loved one or a friend on this unforgettable experience in the mountains.

That's 10% of the Australian population! When we started 'doing' experiences in 2001, Facebook didn't exist; the iPod had just been invented; John Howard was Prime Minister; and Destiny's Child were popular (yikes!). We've been at this business of experiences for quite a while, so put your trust in us to show you a good time.
We want you to have the most enriching experience possible, so if this means swapping your jet boat experience for wine tasting then we've got you covered. Simply exchange online or contact our Customer Experience Team and we'll do the work for you.
We understand life gets busy, which is why all vouchers and gift cards purchased have a 5-year expiry. The only exception to our expiry terms is if the experience has already been booked in. We honour the purchase price of our experiences for 18 months. If you book your experience after this time and the price of the experience increases you can either pay the difference or exchange it for another experience free of charge.
We know the trust consumers place in ratings and reviews is tied directly to authenticity. That's why we use Bazaarvoice. We believe that reviews should represent the genuine, unbiased, and transparent opinion about the author's experience with a product or service. Reviews are not altered in any way by anyone other than the original author — including corrections for spelling or grammar. Reviews are not filtered, edited, or deleted simply because they are negative or are lower-rated.
