Overview
Surrounded by the majestic Southern Alps and the Canterbury Plains stretching out to the Pacific Ocean, Christchurch is a bustling city of beauty and historical charm.
Known as our "Garden City" Christchurch is the South Island largest City with a population of over 350 000 residents. Christchurch is also regarded as one of our most beautiful cities in terms of its architectural elegance. Being centrally located in the Canterbury Plains means that our helicopters allow you quick and convenient access to some of this areas most beautiful scenery and exciting activities.
Twenty minutes to the east lays the French settlement of Akaroa a quaint area steeped in history and coastal beauty. Our French Farm Heli lunch at Akaroa is a very popular option and a great way to combine breathtaking scenery with some of New Zealand's finest wines and cuisine.
West of Christchurch lay the magnificent and remote Southern Alps, exploring these dramatic snow clad peaks and braided river valleys by helicopter offers an experience of a life time. It is here in this alpine wilderness that we conduct our heliski operations at Mount Potts, experienced pilots and guides combine to offer a safe yet exhilarating day on these undisturbed slopes.
North of Christchurch in less than one hour we can have you experiencing Whale watching off the famous Kaikoura Coast, options here include whale watching by helicopter or by boat and the helicopter transfers to these renowned Whale grounds are dramatic.
These are but a few examples of things to see and do in this area in reality though when you combine some of the worlds finest and most varied scenery with the convenience and thrill of a helicopter flight the options that we can offer are limited only by your imagination.
