Jump aboard your twin engine turbine helicopter for a rollercoaster ride of excitement as you make your way to the rafting “put in” point.

Shotover Flight - Look down upon the Wakatipu Basin, historic Skippers road and Coronet Peak Ski Area before flying up the spectacular Shotover River. Check out the white water rapids you’re about to encounter from above and enjoy the site of one of the world’s richest gold strikes. Helicopter is the only access to the Shotover River during the winter.

Kawarau Flight - As you take off from Frankton Air fields enjoy an up close and personal look at The Remarkables and view the confluence of the Shotover and Kawarau Rivers.  Look out over the Wakatipu Basin as you experience a scenic flight over the Gibbston Valley wine region.
