Glenorchy Helicopter Flight with Snow Landing

This was an absolutely unforgettable experience! The highlight was the snow landing – stepping out onto a remote alpine location surrounded by untouched snow and panoramic vistas was surreal. The helicopter ride itself was smooth and comfortable, with large windows providing incredible photo opportunities. The duration (25–30 minutes) was perfect for soaking in the scenery without feeling rushed. Everything was well-organized, from safety briefing to landing and return. If you’re visiting Queenstown or Glenorchy, this is a must-do activity for anyone wanting a unique perspective of New Zealand’s Southern Alps. Highly recommended for couples, families, and adventure seekers!

Absolutely Amazing Experience

Oh, what a birthday gift — I even got to sit in the front seat, yay! We booked the 25–30 minute snow landing tour, and it was truly incredible! It was my first time in a helicopter — a bit scary at first, but once we were in the air, the views completely blew me away. The scenery was absolutely breathtaking — just STUNNING! Every moment felt like something out of a movie. The team were super organised and even rebooked us later in the day after a weather cancellation. Huge shout-out to our pilot Matt — such a great guy, friendly and informative. We even spotted a couple of kea birds and took some amazing photos on the snowy mountain top! Our group of four absolutely loved it, and we all agreed this was definitely the highlight of our trip — truly an unforgettable experience!
