Easy Transfers & Scenic Returns

Begin your Waiheke Island escape the moment you touch down in Auckland. Instead of navigating ferries or traffic, step aboard a helicopter for a seamless transfer straight from Auckland Airport. Within minutes of connecting with our helicopter, you’ll be airborne, flying over the turquoise waters of the Hauraki Gulf, with sweeping views of the city skyline, distant islands, and the iconic volcanic landscape below.

Your private flight lands directly at Waiheke Airfield or on the grounds of a local vineyard or accommodation, if a helipad is available. Looking to make the return journey just as memorable? Choose a scenic route back to Auckland that glides past the Sky Tower, over the bustling harbour, and around Rangitoto’s rugged cone. Whether you’re heading to Waiheke for a celebration, a weekend away, or a corporate escape, a helicopter transfer offers the most relaxing and direct route, with unforgettable views every step of the way.
