Proposal Helicopter Flights

Make the moment memorable!

Imagine bending the knee in a winter wonderland or on a mountain top with the stunning Lake Wanaka as your backdrop. When you plan a helicopter wedding proposal you create a private and exclusive moment for the two of you.

At Aspiring Helicopters we will work with you in secrecy while you plan the perfect “Will You” moment. A private helicopter flight will whisk you both away to your chosen proposal location. Your Wanaka proposal flight will offer a guaranteed private experience and a complimentary bottle of New Zealand bubbles. Our proposal flights include 10 minutes at your chosen landing location to ‘pop the question’. If you want more time, just ask our friendly team about other options.

Your proposal flight will depart from our hangar at a time suitable to you (subject to availability).

Suggested Wanaka Proposal Locations:
