At Central Heliwork Ltd, we’re not just about helicopters for work we’re all about making your outdoor adventures more accessible and enjoyable. One of our most sought-after services is helicopter hunting drop-offs, giving hunters easy access to some of the most stunning and remote hunting locations in Central Otago and Southland. If you’ve ever dreamed of getting into the backcountry without the long, tiring trek, our helicopter service makes it happen.

 

Central Otago is famous for its rugged beauty towering mountains, wide-open tussock lands, and remote valleys that are full of game like deer, chamois, and tahr. But accessing these spots the old-fashioned way? It’s a tough ask. Long walks through rough terrain, steep inclines, and endless hours of slogging just to reach your hunting grounds. Not exactly how you want to kick off your hunting trip.

 

That’s where our helicopter hunting drop-offs come in. We’ll get you right into the heart of those remote hunting areas, so you can cut out the slog and get straight into the action. No more wondering if you’ll make it to your destination our helicopters will have you there in no time, ready to explore.


Helicopter Hunting: Access Remote Locations With Ease
 

Central Otago isn’t short of stunning hunting spots, and some of the best places are off the beaten track. Here are just a few of our favourite spots that our helicopters can get you to:

 

  • The Pisa Ranges: Known for their rugged beauty and home to chamois, deer, and tahr. Perfect for hunters looking for some of the best game.

 

  • The Southern Alps: A bucket-list destination for many hunters, offering high-altitude terrain that’s perfect for trophy hunting.

 

  • The Maniototo Plains & Rock and Pillar Range: Wide-open tussock lands where deer roam free, away from road access.

 

Without a helicopter, these spots would be difficult (and often impossible) to access. With us? They’re right at your fingertips.

 

Traditional hunting often involves long, physically demanding treks, leaving you drained before you even start your hunt. Helicopter drop-offs eliminate the need for those exhausting hikes, saving you time and energy, so you can focus on enjoying the hunt rather than getting there.

 

With helicopter hunting, you’ll have more time to explore the remote backcountry and focus on what matters tracking game and soaking in the stunning scenery. Instead of worrying about how you’ll reach your destination, you can concentrate on the thrill of the hunt.
