Our so called summer has not been very kind to the Queenstown region, but autumn is shaping up to be a beautiful season, and perfect for people to indulge in the myriad of activities offered in this stunning part of the world. Southland’s vista of autumnal hues offered up by it's acres of forest just should not be missed, and what better way to appreciate it than with a scenic flight with Heli Tours.

 

For instance, why not take one of Heli Tours’ Queenstown Arrival Flights? On this flight you can enjoy a totally different view of Queenstown when you join Heli Tours for a 20 min scenic flight over Lake Wakatipu and around the surrounding mountains. You’ll fly alongside the Remarkables Mountains before you experience an Alpine Landing where you can enjoy the landscapes of Queenstown, Arrowtown, Jack’s Point and Lake Hayes, taking advantage of the opportunity to take photos of this different side of Queenstown.

 

Autumn in Queenstown is also the perfect time for a ‘sky high’ picnic, flying over beautiful clear lakes, native beech forest, historic gold mining remains, braided rivers and remote high country farms. Enjoy a picnic in a private location and breathe in the fresh crisp autumn air. These flights include an antipasto lunch, beverages (including local wine and beer) fruit, breads and cheeses.

 

Then there is Heli Tours’ ‘Scenic Soaker’, a scenic flight over Queenstown and Lake Wakatipu before landing at an Alpine helipad where you will be greeted by a staff member from Onsen Hot Pools. Here you will enjoy a one-hour private hot pool soak at Queenstown’s only private indoor/outdoor hot pools, high on the cliffs overlooking the Shotover River Canyon, the perfect way to while away an autumn afternoon.

 

Any or all of these flights are a wonderful way to spend time in beautiful Queenstown, so visit the website today at http://www.helitours.co.nz and book an awesome autumn helicopter tour.
