The story

One of the most beautiful places in the world to discover by helicopter, together with one of our helicopter legends as your pilot. The sightseeing includes mountains, glaciers, beaches, wildlife, lakes, waterfalls and Milford Sound. The wild food picnic in a remote spot is a gem.

Deeper experiences include snorkelling for your lobster and abalone (crayfish and paua in NZ-speak), discovering jade (pounamu, greenstone) in the wilderness, spending time with whitebait or lobster fishermen, hermits or farmers.
