The Helistar helicopter, Bruce and Christian Lilburn

Christian Lilburn (5) gives the thumbs up on a Mountain Magic flight with his Dad. Christian is very passionate and very serious about helicopters. Listen out for him on the radio or call in for a chat with Christian and he will give you all the information you will ever need!

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!). A four hour drive from both Auckland and Wellington’s International airports, Taupo is the choice of holiday makers, both international and domestic, due to the stunning scenery, crystal clear waters and warm welcome.

Helistar Helicopters’ goal is to exceed your expectations. The versatility of helicopters allows a flexibility that only the imagination can limit.

Operated by Bruce and Nicole Lilburn, Helistar Helicopters is a family run business specialising in scenic flights and aerial work. Based by the iconic Huka Falls, we are also the proud owners of Hub Café and the iconic Mil-8 helicopter, a sure way to know that you’ve found us!
