Mt Cook Climbing & Mountaineering transfers

The Aoraki/Mt Cook National Park is an experienced climbers dream and Southern Lakes Helicopters has over 12 years experience of flying in this region. As a result we can provide expert mountaineering helicopter transfers for climbers up to the huts and landing sites throughout the area.
All charter flights are quoted individually. Please get in touch for pricing and dates for your adventure.

Weddings

Let us help you find the perfect setting for your wedding ceremony, or your dream location for spectacular photographs afterwards. Our Pilots have an amazing knowledge of the Fiordland and Aoraki/Mt Cook area and can suggest some incredible locations you may not have even heard of! Working with you to fulfill your personal wishes and budget, we can provide a service to get you to otherwise in-accessible locations in the comfort and style of our modern fleet. There are some beautiful small lakes, remote mountain tarns and secluded valleys located not too far from our Te Anau or Aoraki/Mt Cook base. Alternatively, if you are planning a wedding at a venue in town, why not begin or complete your ceremony in style, arriving or departing by air?
