Helistar Helicopters is Lake Taupo’s leading tourist flight and aerial work helicopter company operating a fleet of modern jet helicopters from their flight centre just five minutes drive north of Taupo.
Taupo is in New Zealand’s North Island, set on the edge of Lake Taupo, the southern hemisphere’s largest crater lake (in fact, it is the size of Singapore!).
In operation since 1991 and owner operated by Bruce and Nicole Lilburn, Helistar Helicopters is a family run business specializing in scenic flights and aerial work. Based by the iconic Huka Falls.

(DUE TO BAD WEATHER DURING JON'S VISIT, THE SHOOT HAD TO BE POSTPONED. WE ANTICIPATE RESUMING IN NOVEMBER 07)
