The Love Is in the Air helicopter experience is a private scenic flight from Wellington’s downtown waterfront, designed for couples celebrating a special occasion. Fly to a secluded clifftop location for time together overlooking the west coast and Marlborough Sounds, then enjoy aerial views of Mākara Wind Farm, Wellington’s coastline and city landmarks on the return flight.

A Private Wellington Helicopter Experience for Two

Love Is in the Air takes you from Wellington’s waterfront to a secluded clifftop setting with sweeping views of the west coast and the top of the Marlborough Sounds. Your private helicopter gives you the opportunity to share the experience with someone special, whether you’re planning a proposal, celebrating an anniversary or marking a milestone.

After spending time together at the landing location, return to the helicopter for a scenic flight along the coast. Look out for Mākara Wind Farm and Wellington’s distinctive landscape before descending towards the city, with the chance to spot landmarks such as the Beehive, Sky Stadium and Te Papa.
