Backcountry Skiing and Hiking
If you're like us and are planning your next escape into the mountains, skip the walk in and let us fly you in to your next backcountry skiing or hiking trip. We can arrange experienced guides to accompany you and keep you safe. Our AS350 comfortably seat 5 passengers and has a large external pod for all you skies and gear. Our smaller 300C is perfect for taking the weight off your shoulders and flying in food, beverages or packs to your desired location.
Heli-Biking
The Craigieburn Forest Park is quickly becoming one of New Zealand's best mountain bike parks. The tracks vary in difficulty allowing great riding for riders of all abilities. Hitching a ride with your bikes in one of our helicopters can take you right to the very tops of the mountains, eliminating the hard slog for you and leaving more time for the tracks.
