What you can expect

Venture deep into the heart of Fiordland on an unforgettable heli-hike adventure that combines a scenic flight with one of Te Anau's most rewarding walks. Lifting off from the lakeside base, you'll soar above the Hidden Lakes and rugged alpine terrain before touching down beside a remote mountain tarn, surrounded by towering peaks and sweeping wilderness views.

From here, the journey continues across the dramatic Kepler Mountains to Luxmore Hut, where your hike begins. Choose between two spectacular tracks winding through native beech forest and alpine landscapes on the descent to Lake Te Anau. Opt for the half-day experience with a three-hour walk, or take on the full-day adventure via Luxmore Summit for panoramic views across Fiordland's mountains, lakes and valleys.

After exploring one of New Zealand's most iconic backcountry regions on foot, sit back and soak up the scenery on a relaxing boat cruise back to Te Anau, the perfect finale to an extraordinary Fiordland experience.
