Scenic Flights
 

We offer the following pre-packaged flights. Our fleet of helicopters is also available for personal charter for filming, heli-fishing, heli-hiking or for your own needs. Please contact us to discuss any options you require.

We are based at Cattle Flat Station in the Matukituki Valley, an operational sheep, cattle and deer station that dates back to the early times of Wanaka. We offer a very personalised service.
