Scenic Beauty
Aotearoa from above, flown with the legends who know where its beauty hides.
The Experience
Some landscapes can only be understood from the air. We fly with the legends — the pilots and filmmakers who have spent their lives above this country, and who know where its true beauty hides. This is not a "helicopter booking", it's the entrusting of you to a valued high achiever who lets you experience the country through their hearts.
Flying with
Mark Pridham
Mackenzie Helicopters
The Southern Alps, flown by a master of the machine
Mark and Casey Pridham founded Mackenzie Helicopters, a family-owned company flying out of Lake Tekapo. Mark has more than a decade of flying behind him, and the Mackenzie Country is home ground.
He lands where the maps run out of names: on the Tasman Glacier, on ridgelines that catch the first and last light of the day, beside alpine lakes no road will ever reach.
This is not a scenic flight on a schedule. It is a private audience with the highest country in New Zealand, flown by a local who knows it from the air.
South Westland
by helicopter
A True Aviation Legend
One of the most beautiful places on Earth
Discover one of the most beautiful places on Earth through a luxury heli experience led by a true aviation legend. South Westland is a place of glaciers, rainforest and wild coast, compressed into a single soaring afternoon.
You land where no track leads: on a glacier, beside a hidden lake, on a remote beach where the Tasman Sea meets ancient forest. Each landing is chosen for a reason only experience can teach.
It is the kind of day that recalibrates your sense of scale, and stays with you for the rest of your life.
“We work closely with specific New Zealanders who are the true guardians of our natural environment, which we hold very dear.”

Across The North
Flying with
Andy McKay
Andy McKay has been our "go to" helicopter pilot since 2004. He and Jean-Michel used to guide clients together as a team, and that depth of trust shows in every flight.
Across the North Island he reveals volcanic plateaus, hidden coastlines and remote landings that no commercial operator would ever know to find.
When the flying matters, we fly with people we have known for twenty years.
