When you choose Glacier Southern Lakes Helicopters, operated by Helicopters Queenstown Ltd, you’re not just booking a flight — you’re creating a truly unforgettable experience for your team, clients, or special interest group.
You’ll be supported by an experienced and creative team who will help you design seamless and memorable conference, incentive, or group travel experiences in Queenstown. Whether you’re planning a corporate retreat, team-building event, or VIP itinerary, everything can be tailored to suit your vision.
You can enjoy exclusive helicopter transfers to remote and spectacular locations, making your programme not only efficient but also extraordinary. From airport arrivals and departures to unique dining venues and off-the-beaten-path adventures, every detail is designed to elevate your experience.
With access to the largest fleet of helicopters in Queenstown, you can easily accommodate your group. Each helicopter seats up to six passengers plus your pilot, ensuring комфорт, safety, and incredible panoramic views throughout your journey.
What You Can Experience
Your options are virtually limitless, but here are some inspiring ideas to help you imagine what’s possible:
- You can organise unique team-building experiences with champagne or gourmet picnic lunches in remote alpine locations that are inaccessible by road.
- You can capture unforgettable group photos on iconic Queenstown peaks such as The Remarkables, Cecil Peak, or Queenstown Hill — moments your team will remember forever.
- You can arrange seamless helicopter transfers between activities or to exclusive gala dinner venues, including experiences like Dart River Jet, Walter Peak Station, or Moonlight Country.
- You can explore Milford Sound in a truly unique way with a Fly/Cruise/Heli experience. By splitting your group, you maximise capacity while giving everyone the chance to enjoy both fixed-wing and helicopter perspectives.
- If you’re a fan of cinematic landscapes, you can immerse yourself in “Middle-earth” locations. Since the team provided aerial filming for The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit, you’ll be flying through the same breathtaking scenery seen on screen.
- You can combine multiple top Queenstown activities into one unforgettable afternoon with the High Flyer Combo, including jet boating, a scenic helicopter flight, luge rides, and a gondola experience.
Exclusive Snowmobile Adventure
You can also add something truly unique to your programme — a snowmobiling adventure like no other. Glacier Southern Lakes Helicopters operates Queenstown Snowmobiles, offering the only wilderness snowmobiling experience in New Zealand accessible by helicopter.
You’ll be flown into remote backcountry terrain, where you can ride through untouched alpine landscapes with spectacular views stretching to Mt Cook, Mt Aspiring, and even Stewart Island on clear days. Guided tours run ежедневно during winter, and this experience is perfect as an optional activity for small groups of up to six people.
