Auckland Ultimate Tour
An upgrade from the Auckland Discovery Tour, this incredible scenic flight will take you from the East to West Coast of Auckland!
Departing from our City Heliport in Mechanics Bay, begin your tour climbing past the Ports of Auckland, the Sky Tower, and over the Harbour Bridge. Wave goodbye to the city, and continue heading out towards Bethell's Beach, where the rugged West Coast part of the scenic tour begins. Cruise by the wild black sand beaches, spotting surfers, horses on the beach, or if you're lucky, a shark lurking in the waters! Continuing southwards, spotting the iconic Lion's Rock situated at Piha, Fly by Māori Bay, take a look at Karekare Falls, fly past Whatipu Beach and start to begin your journey inland back towards the city.
Take in the city from a different perspective, flying over Eden Park, back past the Sky Tower, and over Mission Bay out towards Rangitoto Island. Have a good close-up look at the summit crater of our youngest and largest dormant volcano! Head back towards Auckland City flying by North Head and the Devonport Naval Base on descent into Mechanics Bay, our waterfront helipad.
This flight is approximately 40-minutes long.

Availability
All venues on Waiheke have high demand for landing slots and table bookings especially in the peak season. It is best to book well in advance, and if you only have one date that you would like to fly, please enquire before purchasing, as we may need to suggest a different restaurant or time of day depending on availability.
Departure Location
This Heli Me experience departs from our City Heliport at Mechanics Bay in Auckland City. Other departure locations such as Auckland Airport, Ardmore Airport and North Shore Airport are available but may incur an additional charge. Please contact us for pricing.
Passenger Weight and Aircraft Occupancy
Unlike large airliner aircraft individual passenger weight is critical for a helicopter. For a full helicopter the average passenger weight must generally be 80-85kg or below. There is also a maximum individual seat limit of 125kg. Heavier loads can sometimes be carried but it depends on the distribution of weight. Please let us know passenger weights at the time of booking.
Each helicopter has a maximum occupancy equal to the number of seats. Infants may be carried on an adult's lap but are counted towards the total occupancy, so by law a spare seat must be kept for any children carried on a lap.
On shared scenic flights, passengers over 100kg may require an additional comfort seat to be purchased.
Weather
In the event that the weather is unsuitable on the day then your experience will be cancelled and rescheduled at no cost to you. When booking please provide us with suitable contact information so we can get hold of you on the day in the event of a cancellation. We suggest you call on the morning of your experience if you have any doubt about the weather suitability.
Gift Vouchers
All gift vouchers are valid for 6 months from the date of purchase, or are otherwise specified if bought during a promotion. They are non-refundable but are transferable so they can be used by any other person.
