See the best of Marlborough, New Zealand - by air!

Windhawk Helicopters - the new adventure tourism operator based in Marlborough, New Zealand – now offers “The Best of Marlborough”, a unique scenic flight which showcases the spectacular scenery of Marlborough’s wine region and Sounds from a new perspective.

Lifting-off from Windhawk’s own base within the vineyards (and minutes from Blenheim), “The Best of Marlborough” scenic flight takes in Marlborough’s world-famous wineries, rivers and peaks before tracking North to the beautiful Marlborough sounds. The flight lasts nearly an hour and affords plenty of opportunities to pause high above some of New Zealand’s most magnificent scenery before touching-down back at Windhawk for a glass of Marlborough wine.

Windhawk Helicopters already offers professional flight services within the Marlborough region. These include guided trout fishing, heli-hikes, lakeside/mountain picnics, wedding photography, frost protection and corporate charters, in addition to bespoke scenic flights to suit all individuals.

Ben Barnett, company director and pilot, grew up in Marlborough and accumulated a thousand hour’s flying time as a pilot overseas before returning to the region in 2006 to start Windhawk Helicopters.

“We are so lucky that the Marlborough region has so much to offer – from the rugged high country, the vineyards and the beautiful Marlborough Sounds – and a helicopter puts it all within reach”, explains Ben.
