HeliBikeNZ

With 6 mountain ranges and 400+km of trails we can find the perfect ride for you!

Our full day or 1/2 day heli bike trips have a flight time between 10-20 minutes and ride time of around 3-4 hrs, with each trip offering different trail types, from fast flowing farm tracks to panoramic ridgeline rides . We can also customise your trip to include multiple flights, tracks and days.

Or, for those who would like to experience the beautiful backcountry minus the helicopter, choose from a number of our backcountry e-bike trips.

We can also collaborate with you to create a bespoke trip, overnight or multi-day tour. We're also able to facilitate those in your group who would like to participate in the helicopter experience, but don't wish to take part in the MTB riding.

No matter which trip you choose HeliBike NZ will take you on a backcountry riding adventure you’ll never forget!

We are the Heli Bike and E-bike professionals in NZ.
