Join us on a majestic flight transporting you to New Zealand’s most exclusive whisky hut. Let your tastebuds go wild while you enjoy a tasting platter of fine local produce or simply enjoy the spectacular alpine scenery as you unwind in the serenity, surrounded by towering mountains and majestic Valley’s, pinching yourself, ensuring this truly amazing experience is real.

It’s known as The Bad Decision but, for a whisky connoisseur, it can’t get any better than this. A selection of complementary fine whiskies, pure mountain air, 360-degree vistas, and the world at your feet.

The Bad Decision — New Zealand’s highest altitude whisky hut — is a tiny alpine hut perched on a high mountain saddle. At 2072m (6800 feet) this exclusive retreat is reserved for a select few. While the intrepid slog their way up mountaineer-style, our private helicopter experience lands you on the spot ready to imbibe.

From Mackenzie Helicopters Lake Tekapo base, embark on a stunning scenic flight deep into the Southern Alps, a majestic snow topped wilderness of New Zealand’s longest glaciers and tallest peaks. Choose from our flight options to The Bad Decision, which includes flights that soars past ‘the cloud piercer’ — majestic Aoraki/Mount Cook — before setting down beside the little red hut.

A visit to the Bad Decision whisky hut can be enjoyed in combination with other Mackenzie Helicopters flight experiences. Please enquire for pricing and details.
