After take-off you will enjoy views of Christchurch City and the spectacular Southern Alps before your helicopter pilot whisks you away to land on the banks of the Waimakariri River. Waiting for you will be the Alpine Jet Thrills boat ready to blast you down the river at great speed. Drift around the sweeping river bends in just a few centimetres of water and experience 360-degree spins while you immerse yourself in the magnificent landscape. Then it’s back on board for the return flight across the Canterbury Plains.
