Pihopa Retreat Heli-Tour as featured on "Lap of Luxury"

Exclusive Heli-Tour for Pihopa Retreat Guests.

This accommodation package and heli-tour has been carefully selected to impress on guests the stunning beauty of the Kahurangi National Park – one of three National Parks in our region.

In the Maori language, Kahurangi means ‘treasured possession’, a clue to the attractions of New Zealand’s second largest National Park.

At 1875m, Mt Owen is one of the most remote locations in the Kahurangi National Park, as well as the highest peak.

One of the few New Zealand mountains made of marble, it has unusual erosion features which provided one of many dramatic settings for the film trilogy The Lord of the Rings.

A stunning landscape of glaciated marble karst with picturesque views over Tasman and Golden Bay, Mount Owen is a magical location that not many people will get to experience in their lifetime.

Tour Duration: 2-3 hours
Flight time: 50 minutes

  • Flight departs from our base at Nelson Airport
