Thats true!

I'm just repeating what the pilot told me on my last flight 3 weeks ago.

Helisika prices are going up 20% across the board at the end of this month.

website updated just now, took it from manageable but doable for a single person trip to unaffordable for the high kawekas

Good hunting all through there Bruce. Hit me up for a brew or a cuppa before you go and I'll point out a few spots on the map for ya

Usually a few bone heads floating around too

Lovely block. There is a flat knob in the middle of the valley not far down stream from the hut (before you get to Blue Duck). If you sit up there in the evening you will see the sika ghost out of the scrub below the native. It can be long shooting from there but you can make a plan once you know where they are. Nice easy walking. I saw a very good 8 in there when I flew over one winter. Circled around him as he bounded his way through the snow back to the bush.

@striker

Got a link to the new prices, please? Had a look at their website and I could only find the 2023_24 price list, not 2024_25?

@Maxx
They have updated the individual hut page prices.
Only seen the changes as I went to book for a july trip.

Went there a few years ago during the big snow storm that crushed all the trees.
First and last time flying helisika. They had zero consideration for timings when it came to the pick up, several hours late without an attempt to explain anything.
Made to feel like a privilege to pay them money.
Plenty of great hunting in the public areas.

How much now to Northern arm?
