Last week we enjoyed hosting about 30 people from Oamaru’s Cognitive Stimulation Therapy Group (CST) at the hangar for a look around, chat about the variety of work we do each day, and a cuppa. This is a community group run by the amazing Debbie and Susie with their group of awesome volunteers each week. There really are some incredible individuals in our community!

Proudly supporting Network Waitaki with their projects

We had some old wires that needed to be replaced with a new more “reliable” aluminum conductor down on Katiki Beach last month, so the team from Heliventures NZ Ltd. gave us a hand with reconductoring.

While we were at it we also upgraded the feed from a single phase to 3 phase (2 to 3 wires) to provide additional capacity for the future.

Thanks for your help team!

Sometimes you just need a bit of extra help to get the boat back to the trailer! 😅 We have the gear to perform all types of precision lifting jobs - and because we’re based so close to the Waitaki and Mackenzie rivers, we often get calls to help people out in a variety of situations! 🚁 #HeliventuresNZ

Looking for the perfect Christmas gift? Why not put an unforgettable experience in someone’s stocking - a scenic flight with Heliventures! 🚁 Take off from Oamaru Airport, and explore some of the unique landscapes and features of the Waitaki district, or from our Twizel hangar at Pukakai Airport, for spectacular views of Aoraki Mt Cook, Lake Pukaki and the Mackenzie Country. Call us to book a spot orto get a gift voucher for that person who has everything. It’ll be an experience they will remember forever!🎄

This paddock of oilseed rape Tommy sprayed recently makes for a pretty spectacular backdrop! Powerlines are one of the many hazards our pilots encounter on a daily basis. When our clients tell us about any hazards on their property, our pilots are able to immediately mark these on their mapping system and ensure they avoid or safely negotiate these areas. We appreciate our clients doing their part to keep our team safe! #HeliventuresNZ

All about that accuracy! We are able to perform full and half-boom spraying to enable the treatment of sensitive boundaries. #HeliventuresNZ

The view of the Waitaki River is pretty good from up here! Want to experience it for yourself? 🚁 Find out more about our scenic flights here: heliventuresnz.com/oamaru-scenic-flights
