Description

Wanaka is the perfect location to base yourself in the South Island of New Zealand. There are some amazing, remote locations to see around the South Island and the good thing is, you can do it in a day from Wanaka. We will organise everything for you, from pick up to drop off.

Don’t have time to visit Fjordland or Mt Cook? We can make it happen. Head off via helicopter to explore and experience places that are inaccessible by road or just too far away to drive. It’s amazing what you can do in a day!!
