Heli Boarding

Be inspired and ride with local snowboard legend Will Jackways

Wānaka has without a doubt some of the best heli-skiing accessed terrain in the world. Whether it’s heli drop skiing or snowboarding, in a matter of minutes you'll be standing atop one of our majestic peaks with an untracked face waiting just for you.

No trip to the Southern Lakes region during winter is complete without a day out in the bird. Take a heli with your mates and experience the very best powder snow New Zealand has to offer.

You can have six heli-ski runs before midday and enjoy lunch with a view, or charter the heli for the day and take 10 - 12 laps - the choice is yours with our custom tours.

Here at Explore Wānaka we work with the best in the industry to ensure you receive a safe and memorable experience. 

This is the moment to create your dream heli trip. Leave behind your busy life and let us show you this beautiful part of the world, giving you the opportunity to experience exclusive one on one local knowledge while creating unforgettable memories.

Heli Boarding New Zealand

My first heli, it was an awesome experience catering to all levels, for fun open fresh lines to steeper more challenging terrain. Resort touring was great, giving an at home experience exploring the resort terrain. Will and Abby were accomodating with transfers and the accomodation was nice and comfortable.

Looking at further tours with these guys in the future at home and abroad in Japan.
