Our Glenorchy Whānau: Rooted in Community

Heli Glenorchy is more than just a helicopter company; we’re an integral part of the close-knit Glenorchy community. Nestled at the head of Lake Whakatipu, our small town thrives on the spirit of neighbourly support and collaboration. We cherish our relationships with fellow locals, businesses, and community groups, understanding that our success is intertwined with the well-being of our Glenorchy whānau.

From supporting local events to lending a hand where needed, we’re committed to being a positive contributor to the unique heart and soul of our special place. We’re proud to call Glenorchy home and value the strong connections that make it such an extraordinary community.

Glenorchy Community

More than just flights, we're part of the Glenorchy fabric! Heli Glenorchy proudly supports our vibrant community, from hosting lively Quiz Nights and being part of the iconic Annual Glenorchy Races and Fishing Competition, to backing the PTFA Mid Winter Ball and even hosting the Fire And Emergency Leadership Conference. We're committed to the heart and soul of our small town.

Pyke Conservation Society

When the Pyke River Preservation Society embarked on the vital Olivine Hut rebuild, we were eager to lend a hand. Understanding the logistical challenges of transporting supplies to this remote location – requiring both helicopter flights and boat lifts across the Hollyford River – we offered our helicopter services at a significantly discounted rate. We were delighted to support their community-funded efforts and help bring this important project to fruition, enhancing the experience for all visitors to the beautiful Pyke River area.

Fire and Emergency

Our Commitment to Fire & Emergency New Zealand (FENZ). We're more than just pilots and ground crew – we're part of the Fire and Emergency New Zealand (FENZ) whānau. Many of our dedicated staff are also trained FENZ volunteers, deeply committed to assisting our community in times of emergency. This close connection, combined with our aviation expertise and local knowledge, allows us to provide crucial aerial support for firefighting efforts and emergency response within our region. We're proud to stand alongside our FENZ colleagues, both in the air and on the ground, ensuring the safety and well-being of our community.

Donated Vouchers

Sharing the Skies with Our Community! At Heli Glenorchy, we believe in giving back to the incredible community that surrounds us. Last year alone, we were delighted to donate over $10,000 worth of scenic flight vouchers to a wide range of local organisations and initiatives. These vouchers helped support fundraising efforts, reward volunteers, and provide unique experiences for many within our community.
