Latest news on Landslide in the Manawatu Gorge:
An ongoing series of slips, over many years and since Aug 2011, have HELiPRO once again assisting Higgins contracting to stabilise this landslide. Prior to the ‘benching’ HELiPRO dropped over 1,000,000L of water to ‘sluice’ away the loose materials after which diggers and bulldozers where placed on the top of the slip to remove more loose materials and secure this unstable face from the top down by creating a series of benches. HELiPRO have assisted by lifting digger equipment and fuel on and off the benches as they worked their way down.
Join us to view this massive landslide, responsible for blocking the main arterial route between Woodville and Palmerston North, it is only by viewing this work of nature from above that you will be able to appreciate the immense task faced by contractors to reopen this vital roading link.

Palmerston North and its Surrounds:
Palmerston North is a vibrant city to be found on the banks of the Manawatu River, and at the foot of the Tararua Mountain Range. The surrounding area is full of surprises, best appreciated from above. HELiPRO’s scenic flight options include an amazing Manawatu Wilderness Excursion and the most spectacular views of the recently developed Wind Farms.
Palmerston North is a youthful city with an active student population. The city's economic base has been boosted by the establishment of Massey University and the New Zealand Dairy Research Institute in the 1930’s, adding to the cosmopolitan atmosphere. The buzzing University Complex looks even better from the sky.
If you visit the Manuwatu, you will see that there are endless opportunities to experience the great outdoors, from short walks in splendid native bush, half day walks through the spectacular Manawatu Gorge, to tramping in the majestic Tararua Ranges. So why not fly over first and see the beauty of this region from a completely different angle?
