Elevate Your Perspective
Scenic flights, adventure packages, and helicopter services across the Eastern Bay of Plenty.
Locally Owned.
Family Operated.
Passionate About the Bay.
We’re a small, family-run helicopter company based in Waiotahi - a coastal haven between Whakatane & Ōpōtiki. From here, we fly across the Eastern Bay and beyond, offering scenic flights, adventure packages, and aerial services that capture the beauty and spirit of this place we call home.
Every flight is personal. With Luke’s flying experience and deep local knowledge, and Cara’s care behind the scenes, we bring together professionalism, warmth, and that unmistakable Kiwi hospitality.
Scenic Flights
See the Bay Like Never Before
Take off from Waiotahi and experience the Bay of Plenty’s coastline, forests, and volcanic peaks from above. From Whale Island and Ohiwa Harbour to Whakatāne’s golden beaches, our scenic flights offer a fresh perspective on one of New Zealand’s most diverse regions.
With every flight, you’ll gain more than a view - you’ll connect with the land, the stories, and the people who know it best.
Adventure Packages
Adventure Awaits
We’re proud to partner with incredible local operators to create unforgettable heli experiences. Fly in for a day of jet boating, fishing, golfing, or a luxury retreat tucked deep in the hills.
Each unique package combines air and land to give you the best of both worlds - breathtaking views, epic adventures, and a taste of what makes the Eastern Bay so special.
Commercial Services
Precision. Experience. Reliability.
From frost protection and lifting work to aerial surveying and wild animal recovery, we support local farmers, builders, and businesses across the Bay.
With years of practical experience and a commitment to safety, our operations are professional, efficient, and delivered with the same care we bring to every flight.
"10/10 highly recommend the team are super professional and safe as houses, flew us into a good spot for a 3 day hunting mission after ringing Luke the afternoon before we were meant to fly in after our original plan fell through. Will definitely be using again in the future 🤙🏼"
