Queenstown is undoubtedly the adventure capital of the world, but what makes this region truly magical is that it’s home to one of the most stunning alpine settings imaginable.

Experience views of majestic Queenstown as you perch on rugged mountain terrain, you may even be standing on snow in the winter.

There’s no better way to experience its sheer beauty than by taking to the skies in a helicopter and enjoying a bird’s eye view of the stunning scenery. Don’t forget your camera as these views of Queenstown and Lake Wakatipu are not to be missed!

Erlebniswert

Ansich ist der Flug natürlich sehr kurz aber ein Erlebnis war es trotzdem. Wir hatten Glück, dass bereits Schnee lag und wir deshalb eine Schneelandung auf dem Berg machen konnten. Für etwas korpulentere Menschen bei voller Auslastung allerdings nur begrenzt empfehlenswert, da es sehr beengt ist.

Kurz, aber einmaliges Erlebnis!

Der Abholdienst von meinem Hostel hat super funktioniert und dann sind wir zum Queenstown Flughafen gefahren wo es nach einem schnellen Check-in und der Einweisung auch fast schon in den Heli ging. Man fliegt mit 2-3 anderen Personen maximal. Der Start war mein absolutes Highlight, das Gefühl war der Hammer! Dann sind wir nach oben auf einen Berg geflogen und haben dort 10 Minuten Fotopause gemacht (Unbedingt super dick anziehen -7 Grad) und dann auch schon wieder runter geflogen. Es ging alles so super schnell und ich bin mir nicht sicher ob es sooo lohnenswert ist. Vielleicht sollte man besser in eine andere längere Tour investieren. Das Team generell ist super nett!
