Sunset Scenic Flight Queenstown Ski Fields (Winter Only)

Take in Queenstown’s winter magic from a fresh angle with a relaxed, 40-minute sunset scenic flight that captures the best of golden hour. Lifting off from Queenstown Airport, this easygoing 40-minute experience sweeps you over iconic alpine scenery just as the light softens and the mountains start to glow. This is known as Queenstown's beautiful golden hour.

Glide above Coronet Peak, Cardrona and The Remarkables, spotting ski runs, lifts and dramatic ridgelines, with wide open views across the Wakatipu Basin and Lake Wakatipu. It’s a great pick for families, skiers and first-time visitors alike, whether you’re reminiscing about the slopes you have already enjoyed or getting excited for the days ahead. Along the way, friendly local pilots share insights that bring the landscape to life.

As the sun dips lower, snow-covered peaks and lakes light up in warm golden tones, making for some truly special photos and a memorable end to your day. It’s a simple, feel-good addition to any Queenstown trip, perfect as a gentle introduction or a highlight to wrap up your winter getaway.
