Bobby, Eric, and Adrienne getting ready for a helicopter tour of Dusky and Doubtful Sounds. Both fiords are very remote and not accessable by car. There are only 2 hiking trails that lead into the region and both take 5-7 days to hike.
A beautiful view of Lake Te Anau just before take off.
Our first landing was made in Dusky Sound where we explored for about 20 minutes before lifting back off to explore the rest of the region.

The island in the right upper corner of the picture is where Captain Cook (British explorer) first landed when he sailed to New Zealand.
The beautiful mountains of the Fiordland National Park, the largest National Park in New Zealand.
Eric looks on as Rod, the piolot, prepares to land on the plateau seen in the middle of the picture. The flat snowy area seen in the middle of the mountains is a mountain lake that is still frozen from Winter.
This is where we made our second landing and were able to hike around for about 20 minutes and enjoy the awsome views.
