Fly to Te Arai Links with Heli Me & Arrive in Style

Just a 22-minute flight from downtown Auckland, Te Arai Links is one of New Zealand’s newest and most extraordinary golf destinations. Opened in 2022, this coastal masterpiece near Mangawhai combines breathtaking scenery with world-class design, offering two 18-hole courses created by Tom Doak and Coore Crenshaw.

Aboard your private helicopter, you’ll depart from Heli Me’s Mechanics Bay Heliport and enjoy a spectacular aerial journey over the Hauraki Gulf and rural Northland before touching down near the fairways. The view from the air alone is worth the trip - endless coastline, rolling dunes, and the shimmering Tasman Sea set the tone for an unforgettable day on the green.

Both the North and South Courses deliver a walking-only experience, allowing players to fully immerse themselves in the landscape and rhythm of the game. Every swing, step, and sightline is designed to showcase the beauty of New Zealand’s coastline. For golfers who appreciate detail, precision, and pure links-style play, this is the ultimate day out.

Te Arai Links Golf Course Helicopter Tour

Experience Te Arai Links

Positioned along a pristine stretch of New Zealand coastline, Te Arai Links has already earned global acclaim, ranking in Golf Digest’s 2024 World’s 100 Greatest Golf Courses. The courses are a celebration of natural terrain, with rolling dunes, firm fairways, and challenging greens that reward strategy and finesse.

To protect this delicate environment, golf carts are not permitted. Players are encouraged to enjoy the course on foot, with soft-soled sport shoes or golf shoes with rubber nubs recommended. The result is a more authentic connection to the landscape - a game that moves at a natural pace and highlights the tranquillity of the setting.

Caddies are available to enhance your experience, offering local knowledge and insight into course play. Whether you select a single, double, or forecaddie service, each adds to the enjoyment and flow of your round.

Add Scenic Stops to Your Te Arai Experience

Turn your day of golf into a full Northland adventure. After your round, Heli Me can arrange a scenic loop flight along the coastline, over the dunes of Pakiri Beach, or around the islands of the Hauraki Gulf. Alternatively, pair your golf day with a vineyard lunch on Waiheke Island or a coastal stop at Waipu Golf Links for a second round.
