As Aotearoa New Zealand's leading locally owned helicopter operator, we'll take you on a journey where you can feel the mountains beneath your feet and witness our beautiful landscape like never before! Our six-seat helicopters make the rugged alpine region accessible to one and all - Milford Sound / Piopiotahi to the West Coast glaciers. Flights vary from 20 minute tours to private charters. In winter, we offer heli-skiing on extensive, exclusive terrain in Queenstown, Wānaka and Mount Cook. The Helicopter Line Helibases are located at Queenstown, Aoraki / Mount Cook, Fox Glacier, Franz Josef Glacier, and Milford Sound / Piopiotahi (via Queenstown).
