Description

Nestled on the edge of the wild and rugged Cook Straight lies the Southern gateway to the North Island and New Zealand's capital - the harbour city of Wellington. Join Wellington Helicopters on a scenic helicopter flight in the safety and comfort of a helicopter to see the city from a different vantage point. Choose from the flight options below:

Heli Harbour Scenic Flight

Escape the hub of Wellington to explore the harbour boundaries. You will fly over the tectonic landscape that was created by a massive earthquake in 1855. During the flight you will take in views of Matiu Somes Island and the Cook Straight, the highway of the ocean between the North and South Islands of New Zealand. When returning back to the city you will see the parliament buildings and Te Papa. 

City Scenic Flight

After boarding your helicopter you will leave the harbour front for a short but exciting flight. The scenery will become smaller and smaller as you ascend into the sky above Wellington. Sights such as Te Papa, the Beehive and the Cake Tin will take on a new perspective and if the weather permits you will be able to see views of the Marlborough Sounds and the upper South Island.
