South Coast Discovery Heli-Tour
Trip Overview
Explore what lies beyond the city with a spectacular helicopter flight over Wellington’s pristine southern coastline. Pass closely by the majestic Makara Wind Farm where you will get a fantastic view of the giant windmills, remarkable examples of modern engineering and sustainable energy.
The next heading is south to the wild, dramatic coastline where numerous seal colonies hug the rugged shores as waves batter into the towering cliffs. See Karori Rock Lighthouse, an enduring testament to the shipping dangers of the Cook Strait, one of the world’s most notorious stretches of water. On a clear day you may be treated to views of the Marlborough Sounds, the top of the South Island.
On returning to Wellington Harbour you will enjoy a great overview of the capital city, the surrounding landscape and its impressive landmark buildings. Landing opportunity for photos if weather permits.
Allow 40 minutes (22 min flight). Minimum passenger numbers apply.

Awesome experience! Treated my husband to a scenic flight for our first wedding anniversary. It was fantastic!! I had thought we had booked a harbour flight, so we were pleasantly surprised to find ourselves zipping down the south coast. The stop at the seal colony really was an added bonus! Thank you soooo much to the team for a wonderful trip, it made for a memorable day. Next time we’ll be back to do a picnic or a lunch and go all out!

Fabulous quick trip over Wellington with the most amazing views. While this trip is short, it is very worthwhile as it gives you the most amazing views and aerial insights to our capital city. Travelling at speeds of around 250k per hour, you feel like you are just taking a leisurely stroll as there is no reference point to judge your speed. Great trip to use as a gift.

Wellington is a beautiful city from the sky. What an awesome experience. Very friendly and professional crew. The flight was smooth and the view from up there is amazing. The time flew by as it was so good up there, but with an experience like this, it always could be longer. Would definitely recommend for visitors or locals, and would do it again myself in a heartbeat. Thanks heaps Liz and team!!
