Take a truly "remarkable" scenic flight over the Remarkables Mountain Range with Heliworks Queenstown!
Trust us, Queenstown looks much different from up here. Enjoy the spectacular landscape of Lake Whakatipu and the surrounding mountains from our landing point on top of The Remarkables.
One of only two mountain ranges in the world to run directly North-South, and spectacular to boot, The Remarkables is aptly named. This excursion takes you over the winding Shotover and Kawarau rivers and up to this dramatic mountain range for our landing â and if youâre flying in winter we may even land in the snow!
Take in the beauty of Lake Whakatipu, Queenstown and the surrounding mountains (and definitely take some photographs) before we head back to base.
Got upgraded for no extra charge and had the most amazing flight. Mind blowing scenes, excellent pilot, once in a lifetime and so grateful to heliworks for one of the best experiences we've ever had
Wowâwhat an incredible experience! đ⨠We're so glad you enjoyed the upgrade and had an unforgettable flight. The landscapes here truly are mind-blowing! Thank you for your kind wordsâwe're grateful to have been part of such a special moment for you.
I booked it as the same day experience and a spontaneous surprise for mom and Heliworks did not disappoint! We loved it! The flight went smooth, the views were stunning, the pilot was knowledgeable. I did not expect the landing, so that was an extra surprise for both mom and I. There were only four of us, so we had the privilege to change sits after the peak landing. I would highly recommend this experience if youâre visiting Queenstown.
