HELIPAD
En route to Marino Ridge take advantage by helicopter of one of the world's most photogenic countryside/city/harbour seascape transits. Fly to us from say Kauri Cliffs, Huka Lodge, Tree Tops, or from here head off to hunt Poronui, fish Cattle Rustlers on the Tongariro, or conquer Tara Iti... Let Heletranz and Inflite and HelicopterMe give you the best North Island airborne sightseeing imaginable.
Our private helipad on the ridge behind the house offers convenient direct access to and from city or airport. We suggest you consider Heletranz, New Zealand's most experienced heli-transfer operator.
