Bay of Plenty Helicopters

Bay of Plenty Helicopters is a locally owned, family-operated helicopter company based in Waiotahi, between Whakatāne and Ōpōtiki, New Zealand. Flying across the Eastern Bay of Plenty and beyond, the team combines professional service, local knowledge, and a welcoming, personal approach.

The company offers scenic flights showcasing the region’s coastline, forests, and volcanic peaks, including views of Whale Island, Ōhiwa Harbour, and Whakatāne’s beaches. For visitors seeking more than a sightseeing flight, its heli-adventure packages bring together air travel and activities arranged with local operators. Options include jet boating, fishing, golf, and retreats in the hills.

Bay of Plenty Helicopters also provides commercial aerial services for farmers, builders, and other businesses. Its work includes frost protection, lifting, aerial surveying, and wild animal recovery, delivered with an emphasis on safety, reliability, and practical experience. Departures are available from Waiotahi, with the team inviting customers to plan a scenic flight, create a tailored experience, or request a quote for commercial work.
