Vanguard Peak

Flight time ex Queenstown, per way: 8 mins

Vanguard Peak is one of Queenstown's true hidden gems among helicopter wedding locations. Its natural backdrop has it all — a line of snow-capped mountains overlooking the alpine waters of Lake Wakatipu, with 360-degree views across rolling peaks and valleys beyond. Spectacular in winter and sheltered from prevailing winds, it's the perfect choice for couples dreaming of a snow landing surrounded by snow-capped peaks and panoramic mountain views.
