Swap #Mt Roy for Coromandel Peak and get “that shot”

Coromandel Peak, Mt Roy, Photo Will Patino

Put yourself in the picture on Mt Roy, Coromandel Peak

When Wanaka’s popular Mt Roy walking track closes to hikers for the lambing season there are a lot of disappointed visitors. If you have your heart set on getting a photo of  ‘that view’ don’t despair we can help.

In fact we have a far better option than slogging it out up a farm track anyway – and that’s to take a scenic helicopter ride instead.

During the closed period we can offer our “Lake Wanaka Scenic flight” with a landing on Coromandel Peak for $235 per person (minimum 2). This includes a 10min flight and 10min on location to capture that shot.

Coromandel Peak is privately owned and a popular wedding destination so is regularly booked for exclusive use. Therefore we recommend taking your scenic flight in the morning.

Then if you’re still looking for a hiking option with stunning views we can recommend “Rocky Hill and Diamond Lake” a great loop track (approx 3hr return) just 5min down the road, with gorgeous 360 degree views from the top.

Feel free to email us info@aspiringhelicopters.co.nz if you want to get yourself in the picture.

Flying the flag for Wanaka’s newest luxury lodge

Saturday, October 21st, 2017

Mahu Whenua luxury Lodge

Milford Sound scenic flight ex Mahu Whenua luxury lodge

Wanaka finally has a new unique luxury accommodation that sits comfortably with the big names in New Zealand.

Mahu Whenua is a beautiful lodge situated on stunning grounds with breathtaking views over Lake Wanaka. The secluded lodge offers all the normal luxuries associated with a high end property – including easy helicopter access! Great for guests and for us…

We are literally just-around-the-corner so we’re perfectly placed to zip up and collect guests direct from the front lawn for a private personalised scenic flight.

As the flight path from Wanaka to Milford Sound is so spectacular this is by far the best starting point … we can then incorporate a visit to the West Coast and the spectacular glaciers of the Southern Alps and top it off with a relaxing exclusive lunch stop at the Whare Kea Chalet!

We’re also pleased to be working closely with property managers Major Domo to provide some great exclusive heli-based activities on and around the property. From Ridge-top canapés to Winery visits, the options are ‘almost’ endless.
