Spring’s here, summer’s not far behind, and we’re already thinking about the places we’ll be flying.

Remote coastlines, alpine lakes, hidden valleys and a few very good spots for lunch. Our summer experiences are all about getting off the usual route and seeing more of this corner of New Zealand.

A little piece of history, back on screen.

As part of 60 years of Country Calendar, selected episodes from the archives are being made available to watch again — including the 1987 episode featuring Sir Tim Wallis and his pioneering work in commercial deer recovery.

The full episode will be available on TVNZ+ from 7pm this Sunday, 23 August.

Nearly 40 years on, it’s a pretty special one to revisit.

Some lunch spots take a little more getting to.

The West Coast Adventure takes you across the Southern Alps and out towards one of the wildest stretches of New Zealand. Mountains, coast, hidden lakes and plenty of places to land along the way.

No two days out here look quite the same. We follow the weather, find the good spots and make a day of it.

There are few places on earth as untouched as Fiordland.

Our Fiordland Heli Traverse takes you deep into this remarkable landscape, soaring over glaciers, alpine lakes and rugged coastline before touching down in places only a helicopter can reach. Walk remote mountain tops, visit the coast, enjoy a gourmet picnic in the wilderness, and experience New Zealand from a perspective few ever will.

One extraordinary day. Countless unforgettable moments.

One flight. A little bit of everything.

Fresh snow around our usual alpine landings, frozen lakes, a flight over Milford, and lunch in the winter sunshine. That's a pretty good way to spend the day. 🚁

This is why we love what we do. Finding places that feel like you've got them all to yourself.
