We enjoyed ourselves on the cruise. Great views and this boat really takes you quite far. Yummy cheeses and tasty wine. Just the speakers were quite mumm, so we couldn't really hear anything from the captain commenting on the places around. Good times anyway!
AWESOME trip perfect weather and great interesting commentary along the way on points of interest and a bit of history.
Definitely worth trying, the view is breathtaking, staff is friendly, the pilot also gave my son a cap as gift, thanks.
We were picked up at our accommodation by Carl and taken to the base near the airport. We were given a safety briefing by our pilot who was also Carl, he strapped us in and we were away for an amazing flight over Queenstown. The flight was smooth, which is saying something as I hate flying. We were given a commentary of the area by the friendly and reassuring Carl, who landed us on a mountain with great views overlooking Queenstown, he told us where we could go and where not to go and even helped us take some great photos, he then loaded us on and took us back to base. I would recommended Heli Tours Queenstown to anyone. This is something you have to do whilst in Queenstown.
Pick up and drop off was arranged and free of charge, ground staff are friendly and helpful. Pilot Scotty was nice, excellent view and experience, our two mothers and 3 yr old son enjoyed it very much! Love the snow landing. Highly recommended.
Garreth as the Pilot and Bill as the co pilot did an absolutely amazing flight. Taking us to the tops of the Remarkables to see the billion $$$ views. Smooth and safe flight with lots of hours between the Pilot and co Pilot! The pleasant journey was worth every dollars we have spent! Off the plane and on the cruise was easy and Cruise was incredible to see all the beauty that Milford Sound had to offer. I wish they sell some Wine or beer at the Cruise ?. Back to plane after cruise and off we went! We started flying 12.10pm and were back in Queenstown by 4.15pm. The best 8-10 hrs that I have saved to explore more of Queenstown. Will recommend this for sure!
Had never been in a helicopter before so didn’t know what to expect. I get motion sickness with flying and boats so I was really worried about that - but no issues at all with the helicopter ride. The views were spectacular with the snow, it really was breathtaking. It was also special being somewhere that would have been difficult to get to by foot!
The flight itself was cruisey and the pilot was very informative. He took the time to take photos of my partner and I as well as the other two girls who flew with us which was great! The snow landing was amazing, as were the beautiful views!
Haved the amazing birthday day ever
We had an amazing flight 20 mins views were amazing
Great experience and would definitely do it again. Friendly pilot and the weather was great (late October-little bit of snow)
It was awesome. The views up there are mind blowing. Unforgettable experience.
We were lucky, we had the perfect weather, went up to cecil peak hopped out had a play in the snow Well worth doing!!!!
Charlotte was our pilot. She was so friendly and professional. Our short flight up was well worth it. Views were stunning and we were lucky enough to have a friendly couple with us on our flight too. Highly recommended! It’s a must do.
Pilot was awesome
Clean and tidy boat, we received 1 free tea or coffee each and the captain gave a great commentary. Really enjoyed our trip and it was absolutely worth doing. We went in the morning and it was beautiful and clear, gorgeous views. Super cold outside on the viewing deck though so rug up!
Friendly staff, Great information during trip about the history of Lake Wakatipu and the history around it and Queenstown.
What a way to relax and enjoy the views. Sat inside then on way back outside up the front. 2 different experiences. Love the history of this old girl. A must when In Queenstown
Have experience a classic trip on the ship. One awesome thing is we can head into the engine room and saw them operate the ship to seal. Got to try once but once is enough. Besides, there is no discount in any website even here. It just a same price.
Our first helicopter ride, it was such an experience. Will def do it again. Longer would be icing on the cake. Highly recommended.
My hubby loved being able to go and see the steam engine at work in the belly of the ship. Meat at bbq was cold, good service and friendly staff. Overall enjoyable experience, he is glad I persuaded him to go!
We've done jetboats, bungy jumps, luge rides, Steam Boat cruises and all the likes, but this was definitely the highlight of our trip. Nothing beats soakimg up this beautiful country whilst being inches above the crystal clear Wakatipu river. Such a beautiful way to explore!!
Great trip Very comfortable kayaks Helpful guides Highly recommended
We took a ride at 11 in the morning, the weather was great it was sunny. The captain was very accommodating & friendly also the two staff down in the bar was friendly too. It was a satisfying trip together with the picturesque view. ???????
The experience was so smooth and beautiful. Will do it again
I am so happy I got to do this cruise. The steam boat was such a unique experience and the commentary was great. The food was divine. I was so impressed with the cruise and BBQ. If you're in Queenstown, this is a must do. Don't miss out on this.
Most enjoyable trip
Awsum experience. A++. Really loved it.
Lovely, relaxing. informative
Stunning scenery and very relaxing.
the Earnslaw cruise rocks. beautiful & old ship, good sailors, windy bow with a head wind. it was nice experience. you can buy a picture you took on board. Crews will find you.
Booked this for my best friend’s birthday. She was nervous to do this kind of activity but the crew were lovely and explained everything to us pre-flight. It was safe, fun and exhilarating! In the end, we felt like 10 minutes was not enough! I definitely would recommend this to everyone going to Queenstown. Bonus: when we did this, the rain has just stopped and there it was, a magnificent rainbow in front of us.
Awesome !! Friendly professional staff and thank you to Korean girl for recording my video. ???
Love it :)
We had a great time crew were fun, the ride was chilly (clear winter morning) but absolutely amazing.
My family and I had so much fun with this experience for my birthday yesterday!! From the TSS Earnslaw ride with lovely and chill music playing at the background (the lady playing the piano was amazing and talented). At the Walter Peak, I was completely in awe of its beauty. I just wish i had time to walk around the place as time was hectic in this activity. The farm show was fun too, those farm dogs were amazing! And finally, the BBQ BUFFET LUNCH! That was super delicious! Overall I would rate it as 10/10. Super happy with the experience!
Great service, all the staff are kind enthusiastic and committed to give a high quality service. Meals were tasty and beautifully presented.
From the super friendly welcome right down to the quality of food and fantastic meal recommendations, we can’t say enough about the awesome experience. The food was to delicious and great portions, the staff (especially Gabrielle) knew the meals well and looked after us well with awesome banter. Thanks team, we will be back!!!
The place has an incredible view. The service was excellent. The atmosphere was super calm and relaxing. The food was good for the price point. In general, really nice experience!
Really Enjoyed our stay, would be our first choice next time we stay there.
