Heli-Hiking

Take your next hike to new heights.

Experience the ultimate alpine adventure with Heliworks Queenstown’s Heli Hiking experiences. We’ll fly you high above Queenstown and Glenorchy and land you in one of New Zealand’s most untouched and awe-inspiring backcountry locations.

Once on the ground, your private hiking experience begins. Wander through dramatic alpine valleys, trace glacial streams and discover landscapes carved by time. Every step is guided by nature’s soundtrack, with panoramic views that change with every turn.

One of our most sought-after destinations is the breathtaking Earnslaw Burn. With its cascading waterfalls, hanging glacier and remote beech forest, it offers a cinematic backdrop like no other.

Our heli hiking trips are ideal for outdoor lovers, photographers, families and anyone who wants to experience Fiordland and the Southern Alps from a completely different perspective. Each flight and landing is entirely private, meaning your adventure is yours alone.

Highlights:
• Private helicopter transfers to remote hiking spots
• Access to exclusive locations including the iconic Earnslaw Burn
• Custom itineraries designed to suit your fitness and interests
• Breathtaking aerial views and photo opportunities throughout the journey
