FAQ

Q. HOW FAR IN ADVANCE DO I NEED TO BOOK A FLIGHT?

A. That depends on which flight you are booking. Often if a helicopter is available, and the heli if fuelled and ready to go we can accommodate you rightaway for a flight. For longer flights to destinations outside of Tauranga we will need to make arrangements with the location we land at i.e. Waiheke for lunch. The ladies at the Surf Shack Waihi Beach only need 15 minutes notice for breakfast or lunch.

A. Absolutely! We often run helicopter charter flights to many destinations, whether it be for a wedding, a proposal on a beach, or a wet lunch at Waiheke as examples, we can tailor an experience to suit your requirements.
