Queenstown Skippers Canyon Helicopter Tour with Alpine Landing

Get a safety briefing
and take off over Queenstown

With the hotel pickup option, travel by vehicle from your designated pickup location; with the self-drive option, head directly to the helicopter base in Frankton. After a full safety briefing from your qualified pilot, board the helicopter and take to the sky.

Look down on Skippers Canyon and the Queenstown basin

Fly over the alpine landscape of Skippers Canyon and the Queenstown basin while your pilot explains how glaciers and tectonic movement shaped New Zealand's mountains and valleys over thousands of years. From the air, you can also spot evidence of the rich gold mining history left by European and Chinese miners in the late 1800s.

Land on an alpine peak and take photos

After landing on one of the alpine peaks known as the roof of Queenstown, step out of the helicopter and capture the sweeping mountain scenery. Landings take place whatever the season, and after your photos you will fly back.
