Queenstown Heli-Hiking
In conjunction with Mt Nicholas Station & Lodge, we are able to offer a variety of Heli Hiking options on a privately owned High Country Station. This 100,000 acre property lies at the foot of the Southern Alps with Fiordland National Park to the west and the sparkling clear waters of Lake Wakatipu to the East. The terrain at Mt Nicholas rises from lake level at 300 metres, to over 2,000 metres and includes a stunning landscape of river valleys & flats, spectacular mountains, and native bush, giving way to alpine grasses and craggy bluffs. If tranquillity & privacy is important, then this is an experience, not to be missed.
