Fly southwest to enter the Kahurangi National Park for a landing on Mt Owen. Filming was
undertaken here for ten days with the result being one of the most moving moments in the
film. It was here, distraught at the loss of Gandalf, the remaining members of the Fellowship
escape the mines of Moria and throw themselves to the ground in their grief. Mt Owen
showcases some of the oldest rock in New Zealand and has priceless geological properties.
As you ascend a landscape of glaciated marble karst is exposed and you appreciate the
challenges for film crew working within the harsh alpine environment.

Tracking west into the heart of the Kahurangi, our first stop lands at a remote alpine location

Park. From the mountains we descend further west to Westhaven Inlet and track the rugged
and remotely beautiful and wild north-west coastline for a landing on the beach where we
can explore sand dunes and eroded rock formations. Here we will sit back, relax and enjoy a
gourmet picnic lunch and glass of local wine. After lunch we lift off to explore Farewell Spit and

D ’UR VILLE I N D U LG ENCE
FLIGHT TIME: 120 minutes | LANDINGS: 3 | TOUR DURATION: 5 Hours

D’Urville Island is truly one of New Zealand’s best kept secrets. Discovered by French
explorer Jules Dumont D’Urville, the island is located off the northern coast of the South
Island with an area of approximately 150 square km, making it the eighth-largest island
of New Zealand. Departing Nelson or Blenheim we follow Tasman Bay’s eastern coast line
before arriving on D’Urville Island for a spot of helicopter reef fishing. Once we have a decent
catch we hop across to a sheltered bay to prepare your freshly caught fish alongside fresh
local produce for a private dining experience like no other. With a glass of fine local wine
or a cold craft beer in hand, relax and enjoy the pristine beaches and native bush, you can
even take a swim! Our flight home tracks via the Mt Richmond Forest Park with a mountain
landing. If you love fresh food and fine wines then this is the exclusive tour for you.
