Almost to the mouth of the Manukau Harbour your helicopter leaves primordial New Zealand behind to over- fly suburbs leading to the central city area.

(3) AUCKLAND BY NIGHT or SUNSET

$195 per person - Champagne Bollinger on arrival
(available as gift voucher)

To say that Auckland from the air is beautiful is an understatement. At night or at sunset, even more so.
Lifting off from the heliport is a great moment as Auckland’s lights begin to wink into view or the long shadows and rich colours of the late afternoon show why Auckland is considered one of the most beautiful cities in the world.

Once in the air the flight tracks cross the Harbour Bridge for Auckland City and its surrounding suburbs. At night or late afternoon the city is quite different. At sunset the landscape softens and at night familiar identities such as volcanic cones disappear altogether and in their place the lights of the city and structures such as the lights of Ericsson Stadium, Alexandra Raceway, Eden Park or some of the local tennis courts combine to create a surreal view of the city.
The flight takes approximately 20 minutes.. Note: Night flights become sunset flights from October to March.
