Maritime NZ's Rescue Co-ordination Centre was alerted to the call-out at about 12.40pm.
A spokesman says the pair were hunting in the Mt McKerrow area which lies in the Landsborough Valley.
He says they're unaware yet if there's any injuries.
A second helicopter is being prepared which will have the alpine cliff rescue team on board.
