Wellington City Scenic Helicopter Flight | Wellington Helicopters | Shaara Deals

Nine minutes is short for a helicopter flight, and that's exactly the point of this one: it's the entry-level way to see Wellington from the air with Wellington Helicopters, priced and timed for anyone who wants the view without committing to a half-day out.

The flight lifts off from central Wellington and climbs straight into the city's aerial skyline, taking in the central business district and the harbour in one sweep. From up there the flight path passes over Te Papa, the Beehive, and the stadium known locally as the Cake Tin. On a clear day you can also pick out the Cook Strait in the distance, with the Marlborough Sounds visible across the water on the South Island side.

Because it runs on demand rather than a fixed timetable, you can request a departure time that suits you in the booking form. Bookings within 24 hours of departure need a phone call or email rather than the online form, since flight confirmation depends on minimum passenger numbers being met.

This is the shortest and most affordable of the four Wellington Helicopters flights currently on Shaara Deals. If nine minutes over the city leaves you wanting more, three longer options are also live: a 15-minute Heli Harbour Flight out to the harbour edges from $299, a 22-minute South Coast Discovery flight past the Makara wind farm and seal colonies from $375, and a 3-hour Bay of Many Coves Heli-lunch across the Cook Strait to the Marlborough Sounds from $1,065.
