The Remarkables Flight offers an unforgettable aerial adventure above Queenstown’s most iconic landscapes. This 20-minute scenic helicopter experience delivers breathtaking views of The Remarkables mountain range — one of only two mountain ranges in the world to run directly north to south — making it a must-do for travelers seeking Queenstown’s best photo opportunity.
Your journey begins with a smooth lift-off from the helipad, where you’ll soar above the Wakatipu Basin, capturing sweeping views of Lake Wakatipu, Coronet Peak, the Crown Range, and Cecil Peak. As the helicopter gains altitude, you’ll witness the dramatic beauty of Queenstown’s alpine landscapes and shimmering lakes.
The highlight of The Remarkables Flight is the alpine landing on the Remarkables Spur. Step out onto this remote mountaintop and take in panoramic views stretching across the basin, with Queenstown far below and the Southern Alps rising in the distance. It’s the perfect location to snap unforgettable photographs and soak in the crisp mountain air.
Operated by Glacier Southern Lakes Helicopters, renowned for their experienced pilots and exceptional safety record, this adventure offers a premium Queenstown experience suitable for all ages. The 20-minute flight duration strikes a perfect balance between thrill and scenic immersion, providing a bird’s-eye view of landscapes that are otherwise inaccessible.
