This roughly 20-minute tour takes you by helicopter from Queenstown over Lake Wakatipu to land on The Remarkables. Pass over the winding Shotover and Kawarau rivers as you climb toward The Remarkables, and capture views of Lake Wakatipu and the surrounding mountains from an alpine landing site more than 1,500 m above sea level. If you fly in winter, you may even land on snow. With its short flight time, it is a great choice for first-time helicopter flyers.
