What better way to escape the everyday norm than a breath-taking helicopter flight around the iconic Mount Maunganui then following the beach up the coast until we reach the Kaituna River, with views beyond of Maketu, one of the first major arrival sites of the New Zealand Maori. From here turning inland towards Te Puke, New Zealand’s kiwifruit capital where you will have endless views over kiwifruit orchards.

This flight showcases the diversity of the Bay of Plenty where land, sea and air unite.

F. A. Q

When should I arrive for my helicopter flight?

We require passengers to arrive 20 minutes before your scheduled flight. This allows enough time for us to check-in and pre-flight all passengers on safety and procedures when in the helicopter.

What should I wear?
Clothing should be comfortable and not too loose-fitting.
NOTE: Hats and other loose articles of clothing can be blown away due to the wind caused by the aircraft.

What if the weather is not good on the day?
The pilots make a weather call each morning. Passengers are welcome to call the office for an update. If we have concerns regarding the weather, we usually try and give booked passengers a call the day before to talk through options.
