Kaikōura Helicopters Heli-Picnic

Heli Picnic
at Altitude – Kaikōura Helicopters

Perfect for a romantic getaway, family adventure, or a day out with
friends, this unforgettable flight combines breathtaking scenery with a
delicious picnic in one of New Zealand’s most stunning alpine locations.

Lift off from our beachfront helipad and enjoy a scenic flight over the
lower slopes of the Seaward Kaikōura Ranges. Your pilot will select a secluded
landing spot chosen for the very best conditions and views on the day.

Touch down high above Kaikōura, surrounded by 360-degree panoramas of
rugged mountains and sweeping coastline. From your picnic site, enjoy views
over the Kaikōura Peninsula and township, north toward Wellington, and south to
Banks Peninsula on a clear day.

Savour a gourmet picnic of local cuisine in peaceful alpine
surroundings. Relax, take photos, and soak up the tranquillity of nature before
lifting off once more.

Your return flight offers the chance to spot Hector’s dolphins, New
Zealand fur seals, or schools of fish along the coast before a smooth landing
back at our heli base.

You are welcome to bring your own drinks to enjoy with your picnic – the
perfect finishing touch to an unforgettable experience.
