About Us

Queenstown Snowmobiles offers passengers an awesome trip of a lifetime during the winter season months (mid June – 30th September). The Garvie Plateau, situated in the Nevis Valley, offers the perfect location for this Winter activity. During summertime, this area is a working high country station!

Our experienced local snowmobiling guides know the terrain and environment with a passion for the outdoors. Queenstown Snowmobiles is privately owned and operated by Glacier Southern Lakes Helicopters. Glacier Southern Lakes Helicopters has a rich pedigree of scenic helicopter tours around Queenstown, Milford Sound, Fiordland National Park and beyond year round.

Access to Queenstown Snowmobiling area

Access to and from our snowmobiling site is by way of helicopter only. All snowmobile tours include a return helicopter flight from Queenstown (approx. 15 minutes each way).  Our helicopters are all late model Airbus helicopters piloted by highly experienced pilots with thousands of hours of flying time to their credit.
