Journey above Queenstown's spectacular Wakatipu Basin on a scenic helicopter flight bound for Earnslaw Burn, a hidden alpine valley made famous by The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit. As you climb toward the lofty slopes of Mt Earnslaw Glacier, watch snow-capped peaks and sparkling waterfalls unfold beneath you before touching down at a site only this operator is permitted to visit.
Beneath the hanging glacier, settle in for a locally made picnic surrounded by crisp alpine air and towering mountain walls, while your pilot shares insights into the valley's dramatic landscape and Middle-earth history. Whether you visit in winter for the glacier at its most dramatic or summer when the waterfalls run full, it's a memorable setting. Perfect for popping the big question, celebrating an anniversary, or simply enjoying as an unforgettable Kiwi moment.
