Precious passengers
Sun, 8th May 2016
Heli Tours Queenstown recently were privileged to transport some precious cargo into the famous Routeburn valley, Mt Aspiring National Park. The 5 birds were raised in a special facility in Christchurch before bringing them to Queenstown with our amazing airline Air New Zealand. Special thanks to Ray, Geoff and the team at Department of Conservation, also Real Journeys for all their hard work and support for this unique project.
