A good reminder to everyone of why it is so important to carry a PLB. A big thanks to everyone involved in what was a very lucky outcome. Be safe out there guys!

It had all the elements of a tense drama – a signal for help from a hunter somewhere in remote bush, perhaps lost, maybe injured, and the weather closing in with Cyclone Vaianu threatening to wreak havoc.

As rifles get swapped for fishing rods, bikes start rolling down the Kaimanawa Descent and Escape Aviation charters kick into gear, we wanted to take a moment to say thank you.

To our loyal customers who have been with us from day one, to the new faces we’ve welcomed along the way and to our partners and landowners.

We thought it was the perfect time to share our story, the Helisika story. From where we started and to where we are now.

From the Helisika, Escape Aviation and Kaimanawa Alpine Adventures team, we hope you have an incredible summer!
