Depart Queenstown on a day of discovery of World Heritage Fiordland National Park.The first leg of your adventure will take you past the Von Valley and Lake Manapouri over to Lake Norwest. Enjoy a heli landing at this stunning high alpine lake before heading  to Mt Elizabeth. Here you will be able to enjoy another scenic alpine landing to have a photo opportunity of the remote and remarkable Doubtful Sound. This Fiord is less visited than its more popular counterpart Milford Sound but we think that makes it even more special!

Next you will fly north along the Southern Alps mountains, past native rainforest covered valleys and magnificent alpine peaks to Poison Bay and scenic Lake Quill, the source of the Sutherland Falls.
Continue up and past the iconic Milford Sound to view famous Mitre Peak as you make your way across to the spectacular Earnslaw Burn, a location exclusive to Heliworks.
Here you can take in the beauty and serenity of Mt Earnslaw’s blue ice and hanging glacier and cascading wall of waterfalls.
Then head to the Old Nicholas Cottage on Mt Nicholas high country station.

Here you can take time out to relax in the unequalled ambience and enjoy a fresh crayfish lunch, accompanied by a fine bottle of New Zealand wine or bubbles.
On your return flight back to Queenstown via Lake Wakatipu you will be left dwelling on all that can be discovered in the incredible Southern Lakes and Fiordland region!
