The Helicopter Line Introduction

The Helicopter Line operates with a fleet of modern turbine helicopters offering sightseeing helicopter tours in New Zealand, based at Mount Cook, Twizel, Franz Josef Glacier, Fox Glacier and Queenstown. Our pilots are passionate about the region they fly in and call home, and look forward to sharing their environment with you on one of our sightseeing tours in New Zealand.

We are Qualmark rated which is an endorsement of the emphasis we put on safety and standards.

The scenic flights from these locations will impress as you discover the stunning views of New Zealand's national parks, glaciers, mountains and lakes.

Not only are scenic flights popular but we also undertake other activities including private charters, glacier heli-hiking, heli-skiing, hunting, fishing, adventure combo trips and more.

The Helicopter Line – Franz Josef and Fox Glacier

The Helicopter Line at Franz Josef and Fox Glacier on the West Coast of the South Island offer a truly amazing glacier experience. A scenic helicopter flight uncovers extraordinary colours of the ice formations and tracks the path of the glacier before a snow landing in the remote alpine environment.

For the fitter traveller we also offer the famous Franz Josef Heli Hike. This combines two awesome helicopter flights over the glacier with a two hour hike amongst glacial ice formations—time to explore the ice caves, pinnacles and seracs up close.

The Helicopter Line – Mt Cook

At Mt Cook, The Helicopter Line offers flights around New Zealand's highest mountain, Aoraki and Mt Cook, in the Mt Cook National Park. Amazing hanging glaciers, vast snowfields and mountains combine to overpower the visitor to this region. Traversing the Southern Alps reveals the West Coast and Fox and Franz Josef Glaciers.

Always time for an alpine landing to appreciate the remoteness and solitude of this harsh environment and capture the humbling landscape on camera.

The Helicopter Line – Twizel

The Helicopter Line at Twizel is situated right beside the State Highway for traveller convenience. An 'out of this world' experience can be yours in less than half an hour.

Contrasting views over the Mackenzie Basin and Lake Pukaki highlight the fast changing geography of this region.

The Helicopter Line – Queenstown

Queenstown is the 'Adventure Capital of the World' and The Helicopter Line flights in Queenstown are no exception. Helicopter flights combined with the adrenalin activities are designed to amaze, enthrall and excite—heli rafting, jetboating, bungy jumping, skydiving, canyon swing, mountain biking, heliskiing...so many choices.

Scenic flights are also available and are designed to uncover the truly spectacular scenery of the region. The lakes and mountains of the Queenstown region quickly become glaciers, alpine lakes and lush rainforest as flights head towards Milford Sound and the Tasman Sea—mountains to the sea, a true contrast in geography.

For real decadence, a Heli Wine Tour is also available as is the Heli Hike through Skippers Canyon for those wanting an energetic experience in the back of beyond.
