Kaikoura Grand Alpine Heli-Tour
Trip Overview
The Grand Alpine Heli-tour climbs high among the seaward Kaikoura ranges, flying past peaks that rise above 8000ft, with snow visible in winter.
Look west over the Clarence Valley to the inland Kaikoura ranges, home to Mt Tapuae-o-Uenuku - the highest mountain outside the Southern Alps.
Look east over the Kaikoura plains and peninsula out to the Pacific Ocean. Fly over Puhi Peaks Station - home of only two Hutton's Shearwater colonies remaining. Keep an eye out for chamois and deer which run through the property.
Land at a select alpine site of your pilot's choosing - all sites offer amazing views.
See landslides, rock falls and faultlines caused by the November 2016 earthquake.
Approx 70 minutes including alpine landings.
Minimum passenger numbers apply for flights to proceed.

The most amazing helicopter ride. Got to see sperm whales, dolphins and landed on the snow-capped mountain all in one ride. What more can you ask for? And the guide was very friendly and engaging. Recommended to go!

The flight up the mountains with two landings was great the mountains were up close you could see deer. The contrast between the snow covered mountains and the neat fields around Kaikoura was amaising.

We have done the Whale watching by boat but nothing compares to seeing them from the air. We had the most amazing flight. On take off we saw Dolphins in the waves. The trip we took was the Top n Tail. This trip takes you to the top of My Fyffe and the out to see the Whales including views of Kaikoura. The pilot was very informative and helpful throughout the flight. This trip was an amazing experience and I fully recommend it.
