Escape Aviation

Escape Aviation, the premier tourism portfolio of Helisika, which is based in New Zealand’s Central North Island and specialises in luxury helicopter experiences. We offer a range of services, including scenic flights that showcase New Zealand's breathtaking landscapes—volcanic wonders, lush forests, and pristine lakes. Additionally, we provide private air charters and transfers by helicopter, servicing not only the Central North Island but the entire country. For adventure seekers, we offer access to remote locations perfect for hunting, fishing, hiking, and heli-biking. Escape Aviation also presents two exclusive remote stay options: the luxurious Owhaoko Cabin, Te Whare Ruruhau, a two-bedroom cabin accessible only by helicopter, and the immersive Sunshine Safari glamping tent steps away from the Waipakihi River, offering total solitude and a complete escape into nature. For those seeking indulgence, we provide luxury wine and dining tours to premium vineyards. With a strong focus on tourism, adventure, and luxury travel, Escape Aviation takes the trusted name of Helisika to new heights.
