Viva's Best Bits...
"Crayfish fresh for lunch? Fly by helicopter to a remote West Coast beach to collect your crayfish fresh from the ocean, then fly onto Fiordland lodge for lunch - you couldn't get lunch fresher than this!" Ersan, Team Viva
Land by helicopter on a glacier in Mt Aspiring National Park, a spot rarely experienced by many.
Landing 5000 ft (1524 metres) above the lake at Cecil Peak Ledge will leave you speechless!
