Action Helicopters Fiordland Limited

Heli Glenorchy is a locally owned helicopter company based at Glenorchy, about 45 minutes from Queenstown at the head of Lake Wakatipu. The operator flies from an airstrip on Mull Street, positioning itself on the doorstep of Mt Aspiring and Fiordland National Parks and the Southern Alps.

The core business is scenic flights into the surrounding alpine country, including Glenorchy Glacier, Earnslaw Burn and Milford Sound trips, with heli-hiking landings on offer. Alongside tourism work the company runs commercial helicopter services covering long-line lifting, firefighting, search and rescue, farming and conservation support, plus wedding and elopement flights.
