Ōtautahi, Christchurch, a city of exploration, where urban
regeneration, culture and heritage thrives. It is a city constantly evolving,
giving visitors something new to explore.

On board the helicopter, your pilot will give a informative commentary,
whilst you take in views of the New Zealand’s ‘newest’ city. 

See the lush greenery of the “Garden City” from Hagley Park and
the Botanic Gardens to Deans Bush/ Pūtaringamotu, home to native bush forest
featuring kahikatea trees that are up to 600 years old.

The central city from above is a mixture of new urban precincts
and old historic buildings that have been restored after the earthquakes. You
will have a great view of the Christchurch Cathedral as it is rebuilt.

Look down on the red zone of Christchurch, once filled with homes
prior to the earthquakes, now known as Ōtākaro Avon River Corridor. A project to connect people, river, and land

Travel over the Port Hills into Banks Peninsula to see the splendour of an extinct volcano and harbour. 
Diamond Harbour, a favourite spot for recreational boating and fishing. View the coastline
north of Pegasus Bay as you travel over the Sumner and New Brighton Beaches
towards the stunning Southern Alps and Canterbury Plains.

Allow 20 minutes.
