Backcountry Helicopters Makarora Helicopter Flights

Our Heli Max Jet Combo begins with a 25-minute scenic helicopter flight, offering breathtaking aerial views of the braided Wilkin and Makarora rivers, leading you into the iconic Mount Aspiring National Park.
Enjoy spectacular views with an alpine landing before tracking deeper into the valley for a close encounter with the Mt. Pollux Glaciers. After your helicopter flight, you’ll be dropped off at Kerin Forks to continue your adventure with a 30-minute jet boat ride with Wilkin River Jets.
Speed through dense native beech forests and dramatic river valleys, surrounded by towering ice-capped mountains.
This is a truly unique New Zealand experience, blending the serenity of a scenic flight with the thrill of adrenaline-fuelled jet boating, all set in one of the most breathtaking and untouched landscapes in the world.
