Remarkables Scenic

Short on time but still want that wow-factor? The Remarkables Scenic helicopter flight is your go-to for a fast, unforgettable Queenstown adventure. This 20-minute helicopter trip takes off from our Heliworks hangar in Frankton and heads straight for the iconic Remarkables mountain range, a rugged, towering spine that runs north to south, right on Queenstown’s doorstep.

You’ll fly above the Shotover and Kawarau Rivers, tracing their winding paths before rising up towards the jagged alpine ridgelines of the Remarkables. It’s an easy, short trip that delivers a massive payoff in scenery.

We’ll land right up on the range. Step out, breathe in the cool alpine air, and take a moment to soak it all in. The views stretch out across Lake Whakatipu, Queenstown, and far beyond. In winter, you might even find yourself standing in a patch of untouched snow — perfect for that photo moment.

Then it’s back in the chopper for a gentle helicopter cruise home, giving you one last look at the landscape from above. Perfect if you’re just starting your day, filling a gap in your itinerary, or squeezing in one last adventure before you leave town.
