Take a truly "remarkable" scenic flight over the Remarkables Mountain Range with Heliworks Queenstown!
Highlights
- Incredible scenic flight over the Remarkables Mountain Range
- Helicopter landing on Cecil Point or the Remarkables Mountain

- Amazing photo opportunities throughout the entire journey
- A once in a lifetime opportunity!
Trust us, Queenstown looks much different from up here. Enjoy the spectacular landscape of Lake Whakatipu and the surrounding mountains from our landing point on top of The Remarkables.
One of only two mountain ranges in the world to run directly North-South, and spectacular to boot, The Remarkables is aptly named. This excursion takes you over the winding Shotover and Kawarau rivers and up to this dramatic mountain range for our landing – and if you’re flying in winter we may even land in the snow!
Take in the beauty of Lake Whakatipu, Queenstown and the surrounding mountains (and definitely take some photographs) before we head back to base.

Awesome experience
I booked it as the same day experience and a spontaneous surprise for mom and Heliworks did not disappoint! We loved it! The flight went smooth, the views were stunning, the pilot was knowledgeable. I did not expect the landing, so that was an extra surprise for both mom and I. There were only four of us, so we had the privilege to change sits after the peak landing. I would highly recommend this experience if you’re visiting Queenstown.

Worth it
Secinic snow landing was definitely a fun experience especially for 1st timers. The team was super helpful and helped us with luggage storage for the day! As a last minute activity to do this was totally worth every $ spent. We had a great pilot too!

Breathtaking
Cannot rate this experience highly enough! Our pilot was absolutely fantastic, and really made sure my son and I had an adventure to remember while doubling as our photographer…what a legend! With the most breathtaking views, landing in the snow on the tip of the Remarkables what could possibly trump that? Our trip highlight. Thanks again guys!

Incredible experience!
My partner and I booked a helicopter tour of the remarkables during our honeymoon. Due to it being the shoulder season at the time Heliworks upgraded us to another flight for operational reasons. We ended up on an incredible helicopter tour of Mount Earnslaw which was the highlight of our entire honeymoon. The pilot was incredibly friendly and knowledgable of the area and made the trip even more enjoyable.
