The Grand Alpine Heli-tour climbs high among the seaward Kaikoura ranges, flying past peaks that rise above 8000ft, with snow visible in winter. Look west over the Clarence Valley to the inland Kaikoura ranges, home to the highest mountain outside the Southern Alps. Look east over the Kaikoura plains and peninsula out to the Pacific Ocean. Fly over Puhi Peaks Station & keep an eye out for chamois and deer which run through the property.
