Description
HELICOPTER – SHOTOVER RAFTING
Combine the thrill of whitewater rafting with a spectacular helicopter flight high above the Shotover River, Queenstown!
A short but scenic flight takes you over Skippers saddle and follows the twist and turns of the narrow canyon walls before landing at the rafting launch site at Deep Creek.
