We love supporting our local communities. We had a surprise visit this week, James presented The Helicopter Line with a Disc from the recent Disc Golf Tournament to recognise the event's 30 year anniversary. The Helicopter Line has sponsored the event for the past 28 of its 30 years of operation.

Jackie, the Business Development Manager for Totally Tourism / The Helicopter Line at the time, agreed to the sponsorship with James. As part of the sponsorship, The Helicopter Line provides a scenic helicopter flight for a few lucky participants each year.

Ata Whenua translates to "shadowland," a Māori phrase referring to the Fiordland region because of its tall mountains and deep valleys that create large shadows. The high peaks and deep fiords limit the sunlight reaching the area, appearing as a land of shadows.
