Scenic Flight and Picnic with Kaikōura Helicopters

A Kaikōura Helicopters Heli-Picnic offers the perfect blend of adventure and relaxation, making it an unforgettable experience for couples, families, or friends. After a scenic flight over the lower levels of the seaward Kaikōura Ranges, you’ll land at a private location chosen by your pilot for the best weather and views. From here, you can soak up sweeping panoramas across the Kaikōura Peninsula, township, and coastline.

On clear days, the views extend north towards Wellington and south to Banks Peninsula, making the setting even more special. At altitude, you’ll enjoy a delicious picnic featuring local flavours, surrounded by the tranquillity of nature. It’s a chance to pause, relax, and fully take in the dramatic alpine scenery.

A Helicopter Picnic Experience to Remember

The heli-picnic is as much about taste as it is about scenery, with local delicacies carefully packed for you to enjoy. Surrounded by nature, the peaceful setting allows you to relax and fully take in the panoramic vistas. Sharing this experience with a partner, family, or friends makes it all the more memorable.

After the picnic, the journey back is just as captivating as the flight out. Keep your eyes on the water as the helicopter glides along the coastline, where Hector’s dolphins and NZ fur seals are often spotted. Schools of fish can also be seen from above, adding a touch of wildlife magic to the return leg.
