Christchurch

Ōtautahi, Christchurch, a city of exploration, where urban regeneration, culture and heritage thrives. It is a city constantly evolving, giving visitors something new to explore. On board your luxury helicopter your pilot will inform and entertain, whilst you take in views of the newest city in New Zealand. See the lush greenery of the “Garden City” from Hagley Park and the Botanic Gardens to Deans Bush/ Pūtaringamotu, home to native bush forest featuring kahikatea trees that are up to 600 years old. The central city from above is a mixture of new urban precincts and old historic buildings that have been restored after the earthquakes. You will have a great view of the Christchurch Cathedral as it is rebuilt.

    This was a special birthday gift. The trip had to be altered as the jet boat company had no drivers at the shallows area. This gave us a longer helicopter flight to a different location a lot higher up the Waimakariri river (which we had done about 2 months before). The scenery from the helicopter was stunning and the extended flight time gave us a better view of this beautiful country. The jet boat trip, though we'd done it previously, was again awesome. The river had changed so much in just 2 months. The raw natural beauty of the river and surrounding rock formations is a must see.

  • great out door fun....
