The greenstone overnight heli experience is a one-of-a-kind adventure for nature lovers, explorers, and those seeking complete escape into New Zealand’s untouched high country. Nestled deep within the pristine wilderness of the Greenstone Valley, this guided overnight excursion combines the thrill of heli-access travel with rustic, backcountry hospitality.
Your journey begins with a scenic helicopter flight departing from Queenstown. As you soar above alpine peaks, shimmering rivers, and dense native forest, the beauty of Fiordland’s landscapes will unfold beneath you. Upon arrival at the secluded Greenstone Hut, your greenstone overnight heli experience truly begins.
The Greenstone Hut offers authentic, cozy accommodation in a classic high country setting. Suitable for up to six guests, this charming refuge is equipped with bunk-style sleeping arrangements, a wood fire stove, generated power, hot showers, and flushing toilets. The shared living area is perfect for relaxing, exchanging stories, and enjoying the serene surroundings.
As part of your greenstone overnight heli experience, an expert guide will accompany you on guided walks or optional fly fishing expeditions. Discover native wildlife, explore remote valleys, and admire ancient beech forests. Fishing licenses and equipment can be arranged if you wish to cast a line in the crystal-clear Greenstone River, famed for its rainbow trout.
A highlight of the greenstone overnight heli experience is dining on local cuisine paired with fine Central Otago wines. Your guide will prepare a wholesome dinner and breakfast, making the most of fresh regional produce while you soak up the tranquil atmosphere of this remote alpine paradise.
This overnight escape is available year-round, making it the perfect adventure for those looking to disconnect and reconnect with nature.
