Lifting off from our beachfront helipads, your flight will take you up the Puhi Puhi Valley north of Kaikōura over private farmland and into remote DOC land. Fly through the Hapuku Gorge, past giant cracks in the hillsides, and look down at the landslide that blocked off the river, forming the Hapuku “Quake Lake”. Continue climbing to the South before touching down on Mt Fyffe at 1602m/ 5200ft, overlooking the spectacular Kaikōura region for great panoramic photo opportunities.

Enjoy the views of a 4-hour mountain climb without all the effort – includes a snow landing during winter!

As we fly down the face of Mt Fyffe, look for wild deer and chamois traversing the mountainside before landing back in Kaikōura township.

Approx 40 minute trip including alpine landing.
