The greenstone heli adventure is the ultimate escape for anyone seeking untouched wilderness and authentic New Zealand high country experiences. Start your day with a 35-minute scenic helicopter flight departing from Queenstown. Take in breathtaking aerial views of towering peaks, lush valleys, and sparkling alpine rivers before landing deep in the heart of the remote Greenstone Valley.
Once you arrive, your greenstone heli adventure continues with exclusive access to a pristine backcountry station surrounded by dramatic landscapes. Whether you prefer hiking, heli-fishing for rainbow trout in the crystal-clear Greenstone River, or simply soaking up the tranquility, this experience is tailored to suit your preferences. An expert guide will accompany you throughout the journey, offering fascinating insights into the area’s ecology, history, and cultural significance.
The greenstone heli adventure is perfect for nature lovers and adventure seekers alike. Fly anglers will enjoy the opportunity to fish in secluded stretches of the river known for their abundant trout population, while hikers can explore the unspoiled terrain at their own pace. Optional activities can be arranged to customize your experience, including fly fishing excursions or private guided walks through the valley.
A gourmet picnic lunch is provided at a scenic riverside location, giving you time to relax and refuel while surrounded by snow-capped mountains and ancient beech forest. Every aspect of the greenstone heli adventure is designed to showcase the beauty and remoteness of this remarkable region.
After a day of adventure and exploration, your helicopter will return to whisk you back to Queenstown, capping off an unforgettable journey through some of the South Island’s most breathtaking scenery.
