The Helicopter Line


Luxury options from The Helicopter Line.


Specialising in exclusive and memorable helicopter experiences, a trip with The Helicopter Line is the 'ultimate' way to explore Queenstown and beyond – from private charters, remote picnics, exhilarating glacier landings and hikes, heli skiing to scenic flights over Milford Sound and the West Coast glaciers. Offering both twin and single engine helicopters with the option for dual controls as required. Some of our favourite excursions include:


Where we fly:

  • Milford Sound
    Experience the most dramatic scenery New Zealand has to offer. Sit back and let us take you on a journey over frozen alpine lakes, lush rainforest, past rugged peaks and ancient glacial icefalls to the heart of Fiordland. We make a remote alpine landing enroute to capture that special photograph. There is also an option for a small boat cruise at Milford Sound to explore more.
  • Picnic Paradise
    Escape the everyday; take our helicopter to a secluded and remote area. Enjoy a relaxing, leisurely champagne luncheon and time in the 'back of beyond' before calling on the helicopter to return you to civilisation.
  • Franz Josef Heli Hike
    Combine an awesome scenic helicopter flight over Franz Josef Glacier with a unique guided walk amongst the ice caves, pinnacles and seracs of this pristine alpine environment. You'll see extraordinary aqua blue colours of the ice flow from above and then up close – an unforgettable hike through ancient ice formations

Also Available: Private charters and Glacier Heli Hikes, Scenic flights, Heli-skiing, Heli-rafting and Fly fishing.
