Our Story

Fully permitted helicopter operator in Kaikoura offering unparalleled whale watching experiences like no other. Soar above it all, explore nature with us, and have an unforgettable one-of-a-kind unique adventure in New Zealand.

Soaring above Seaward Kaikoura Ranges, towering over 2500 metres straight out of the Pacific Ocean, or orbiting above our multitude of marine animals including our resident s***m whales, dusky dolphins, and NZ fur seals and other whale species migrating through.

Consider our Kaikoura Ultimate Adventure an incredible experience capturing Kaikoura's 7.8 magnitude earthquake carved impressions in our landscapes, raising coastal shorelines and impacting the entire mountain range and main highway in the South Island.

Come and see the immense restoration effort by North Canterbury Transport Infrastructure Recovery (NCTIR) and alliance of local authorities and businesses to repair the damage, and one we have been extremely proud to be part of.
