Bay of Many Coves, Marlborough Sounds- Heli-lunch from Wellington

Lift off from Wellington by helicopter and cross Cook Strait on a scenic flight to the Marlborough Sounds for lunch at the 5 star Bay of Many Coves resort. This three hour experience combines aerial travel, a waterfront meal, and time to slow down in a secluded setting.

From the helicopter, take in aerial views from Wellington of the North Island to the South Island by helicopter, followed by aerial views of the top of the South Island. The journey itself is a key part of the experience, with changing coastal and island landscapes visible on the way south.

At Bay of Many Coves, the setting is defined by native bush and quiet waters. A 3 course meal and glass of wine are included at the resort’s waterfront restaurant, giving you time to sit down and enjoy the location rather than simply pass through it.

After lunch, there is time to explore, unwind by the bay, or stroll through the native forest before boarding your return flight. With its combination of helicopter access, Marlborough Sounds scenery, and a relaxed restaurant stop, this is a well paced escape from Wellington for travellers wanting a short luxury outing with clear inclusions and a memorable route.
