Imagine flying into New Zealand's rugged high country by helicopter, landing in a secluded valley with only your group and our expert guide. Ahead, a winding tussock track leads you through beech tree forests and mountain vistas, punctuated by scenic waterfall stops. As you reach the trail's end at the lakeshore, savour the views one last time, feeling a sense of accomplishment before boarding our scenic boat transfer across Lake Wanaka to complete the trip of a lifetime.

New to Southern Lakes Heli Bike? Maybe. New to guiding? Definitely not!
This season we've welcomed Pete to SLHB.

Pete comes from a passion and life spent in the hills, canyoning, whitewater kayaking, tramping and of course mountain bike riding. Pete has worked in the outdoor education sector and currently runs WORD in Wanaka, a youth mountain bike association. So you know he's a triple threat - experienced, helpful and can shred on a bike!

When it comes to guiding, no one is as accredited as Dave. Heli-ski guiding in the winter, bikes in the summer. You would start to think he likes being outside or something. 🤔

Dave was introduced to mountain biking as a teenager, and it quickly became his unwavering passion for the past 25 years. In that time, he has been a ski patroller and taught avalanche education, ski guiding and rope access. He is also a member of the Specialist Wanaka Canyon Search and Rescue team.

06/03/2023

To continue our bike guide introductions, our next is Doug.

Doug has been with SLHB since its conception, and a part of the overarching Alpine Group for 9 years.

He first started riding as a child, or in his words “for as many years as my age” and began racing with the kids in the neighbourhood.
Since then, he has been on an unimaginable number of guiding trips with bikes, hikes, fishing and more. For any regular person, you would lose count, but Doug has a mastermind that never forgets his experiences and the guests along the way. A man of detail and dedication.

28/02/2023

We're pretty biased when we say we have the best bike guides in Aotearoa, but 🤷‍♀… we do!
Over the next few weeks we'll introduce you to our guides so you know who will be joining you out of the trails.

First up, we have Hedley.
Hedley's love for bikes started as a child when he found an abandoned bike in a ditch. Once resurrected the bike became his access to freedom, exploration, and endless adventure. Since then, Hedley has raced and guided throughout the world.

He's been a guide for Southern Lakes Heli Bike for a little over a year now and is always excited to take new guests out for maximum adventure!

20/02/2023

Stop scrolling to take a moment to appreciate Mt. Burke and it's beautiful view of the surrounding mountains and Lake Wanaka.
Mt. Burke isn't in one of our regular packages, but you can talk to our staff about accessing it as a part of either a multi-drop, or a single-drop ride.
