Scenic Landscapes and Unforgettable Aerial Views

The Kaikoura Mt Fyffe Summit Heli Tour gives you a rare perspective over New Zealand’s rugged South Island beauty. From the moment you lift off, the journey reveals secluded valleys and dramatic ridgelines that few ever see. Flying through Hapuku Gorge, you’ll even spot the landslide that formed the impressive Hapuku “Quake Lake”.

Reaching Mt Fyffe’s 1602m summit, you’ll be rewarded with panoramic vistas across the Kaikōura coastline and beyond. This vantage point is a photographer’s dream, offering snow-covered peaks in winter and golden tussock landscapes in summer. It’s an effortless way to enjoy the same rewards as a mountain climb, without the long trek.

Wildlife Spotting and Thrilling Descents

As your helicopter begins its descent, the slopes of Mt Fyffe reveal a new kind of adventure. Keep an eye out for wild deer and chamois, often roaming the alpine terrain below. Each flight is unique, as wildlife encounters add an exciting and unpredictable element.

The return to Kaikōura township completes the perfect balance of thrill and tranquillity. In just one unforgettable flight, you’ll experience soaring heights, untouched landscapes, and close encounters with New Zealand’s alpine wildlife. It’s a memory-making experience that leaves you wanting more of Kaikōura’s magic.
