Aspiring Helicopters

Aspiring Helicopters is a helicopter company in Wanaka, New Zealand. Its team of skilled Kiwi pilots specialises in scenic helicopter flights to the Southern Alps and beyond. The company is based in the Matukituki Valley near Lake Wanaka, at the gateway to Mount Aspiring National Park.

The company says its base gives direct access to Mount Aspiring National Park and the country beyond it. It says this location lets guests spend more time over the scenery, so its scenic flight pricing is extremely competitive. The company also says all of its scenic tours include high altitude landings.

Scenic flights include Lake Wanaka Scenic, Snow Landing, Glacier Experience, Mt Aspiring and Glaciers, Milford Sound, Mighty Milford Sound and Mt Cook Scenic. Mt Aspiring and Glaciers includes two landings. The Mighty Milford Sound flight includes four landings. The Milford Sound flights take guests to the World Heritage landscapes of Fiordland, which the site calls the Jurassic Park of New Zealand.
