New Zealand's Otahuna Lodge, located on the South Island outside of Christchurch, has teamed up with HeliPro to offer six distinct travel experiences that depart from the Lodge's own Great Lawn.

From whale watching in Kaikoura to a Heli-Golf at Terrace Downs, guests will board their helicopter at Otahuna and taken to some of New Zealand's most scenic spots. The 1.5-hour High Country "Narnia Adventure" visits the places made famous in "The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe." Flying over the Canterbury Plains toward the remote Southern Alps, the helicopter lands at Flock Hill Station, one of the movie's major filming locations. Here, guests will see The Witches Mound, Chariot's Run, Aslan's Rock and The Battlefield and experience the scenery that provided a backdrop for the movie scene known as "The Flight of the Phoenix".

The six different options run from 1.5 to 6 hours and touch on such niche activities as whale watching, golf, wine and more.

The price of all excursions starts at 1,780 NZD ($1,000). All helicopter tours depart and land directly from the Lodge's own Great Lawn and can be booked within 24-hours of departure. For more information, call 011-64-3-329-6336, email enquiries@otahuna.co.nz or visit www.otahuna.co.nz.
