Enjoy a bird’s eye view of New Zealand’s largest city, including Viaduct, Harbour Bridge, Eden Park, Sky Tower and Rangitoto Island, where you’ll fly over the crater of a dormant volcano!
Auckland was built on the isthmus between the Tasman Sea to the West and the Hauraki Gulf to the East and straddles a volcanic field of 55 volcanoes whose cones, lakes and lagoons are best seen from the sky. Fly from the Heletranz Heliport in Albany to the Harbour Bridge, past the historic Chelsea Sugar Works and on towards Auckland Zoo. Look down on Eden Park Stadium and the now extinct cones of Mount Eden and Mount Albert. Don’t miss the spectacular views of Cornwall Park and Auckland Museum as you head towards New Zealand’s tallest building—the stunning Sky Tower!
