Breathtaking views from helicopter

Published on Mar, 2025

My friend and I recently stayed a few nights at the Glentanner Holiday Park. Whilst there, we went on the heli hike with guide Brian. After waiting for some cloud to lift, we had the most amazing helicopter flight, albeit short, and had the good fortune to see some Tahr running down the steep valley cliffs. Brian's knowledge of the farm's history and of the geology (which I personally love) made for an interesting hike. Highly recommended.

Memorable Glentanner Hike

We had the privilege of a private Heli hike with our guide Bryan. He was full of knowledge of the area, the farm and other interesting facts. It was a delightful afternoon easily accessible for most ages and fitness levels.

Spectacular views and fascinating guided hike

Published on Feb, 2025

My friend and I had a fantastic time on this tour, and couldn’t recommend it enough. The helicopter ride was absolutely breathtaking with spectacular views followed by the most fascinating guided hike. Brian, our tour guide, had a wealth of knowledge on the local fauna and flora as well as the history of the area. We enjoyed every second and just felt that staff really went out of their way to make sure we were at ease and having a great time. Thank you so much for an awesome day!

Glentanner Heli Hike

We really enjoyed our heli hike experience at Glentanner. We had spectacular weather & the views were just incredible. Brian, our guide, was full of incredibly interesting information about the area, geology, the history of the farm and just an all round lovely guy. The heli flight is stunning and the hike very easy and enjoyable. We would definitely recommend the experience. The morning tea and home cooked slice just topped it all off.... and...not to forget...the snowberries were delicious.

Great views

Our guide Brian and the helicopter pilot were awesome. Great views and the hiking was not challenging. Brian had lots of interesting information about the area, he was our favorite tour guide of our entire NZ trip.
