After a delayed start due to cloud, 3 of us headed off to Glenorchy. Very friendly, helpful and efficient staff ensured we were kitted out and briefed in no time. Then we were up, up, and away, before the nerves had a chance to surface. My TM was very cool, and chatty, which helped the flight go really quickly. It wasn't until the door opened that the reality of what I was doing kicked in, but too late to chicken out, lol! I have to admit that I did not enjoy the freefall part, but once the chutes were up and you could relax a little it was ok. We did a few spins which was fun, and before you know it we were landing safely. Once you're back on the ground it's hard to believe you actually did it! It was cool to be able to have a good yarn with the boys afterwards, to learn about how this became their passion, and just how much work goes into achieving TM status. Bonus little trip into Glenorchy while we waited for a few others to jump, it was kinda funny to watch them from afar, descending through the clouds. A great day overall, thanks team!

Southern alps skydive was so goood! I took many delay and cancel but finally I gotya. It just take 30min. and wait for others(to take a shuttle).

Had a great time skydiving. The skydive paradise staff had a great attitude. They were very upbeat and fun! Loved the experience- would do it again! BOOK this excursion- you won't regret it!

It was so nice. The next time I do, I want to jump out of a higher ground. The bad weather kept delaying for two days, but I was impressed by the kindness of the staff. And when skydiving, it was so cool. My partner who jumped together was really the best.

Just a fantastic day. Freshies all day

What an experience!! Can’t recommend enough. Our pilot Ben was fantastic!! It was worth the money spent!

Excellent and very enjoyable experience. Right up there with the best in relation to service friendliness,scenery and the thrill of the experience

A good birdeye view of Queenstown, and landing on Alpine slope to take pictures is unforgettable.

I loved every minute of it - even in poor weather conditions, the tour guide made sure we were well looked after and was very accommodating with alternatives on the day. Thank you for the great trip experience. I will be back!

We enjoyed feeding all animals in this farm. They are all so cute. Staff are super friendly and they have sheep shearing show. Highly recommend to visit thus place. Great place to bring your kids here.

Highly recommended! Being my second time to Glenorchy, first time drive by myself which is soooo difficult when I gets the off-road area. Absolutely wise to Use 4WD instead of normal car to go in there plus This truck / bus is so cool. Our driver is very nice, being informative so I can see many different things compare to the first time I went by myself. And lots of important photo spots! It also has Commentary on board which got different languages versions and it suits both me and my non-English speaking mother! This trip even has a nice warm afternoon tea provided :) Animal experience is the other reason I choose this trip, not too many trip do both Glenorchy and animal experience. I just love the animal experience there! All in all, very professional trip, highly recommended.! and we thank you MR U for that lovely afternoon with me and my mother!

Not the sunniest of days, 30 December, but we are about to take an insane/thrilling jet boat ride up the Dart River from Glenorchy. We were picked up in Queenstown by the Dart Bus Charter and arrived in a timely manner to get geared up for this ride. 75kph in less than 10cm of water is my kind of thrill... and the environment...just bury me there when it’s time. The 180’s are pure adrenaline fun. Simply amazing to see how this whole landscape was created by glaciers. The history about Lake Wakatipu is fascinating. Also, the bus ride to some of the LOTR movie shots were fulfilling...Fanghorn Forest, the site of Isengard, the location where Boromir was slain by the Orcs...

Great team of knowledgeable people with a great attitude and easygoing. Service is what it says on the tin, and more. The ride is fantastic and the river is beautiful. Don’t miss it.

Awesome trip amazing scenery jet boat trip up dart river waz awesome staff very friendly and informative.

You have to do this! All the staff are friendly and knowledgeable and the scenery is just fantastic. My sister was disappointed she didn't get wet! Its great value for money and you will always remember it.

We had a fantastic afternoon on tour with Dan! Loved all the movie sites, scenery & information - not to mention a yummy afternoon tea with a good hot chocolate! We had way too much fun dressing up in costumes & using all the cool props Dan brought along!

Great experience would highly recommend!!

Great team, very easy to find the base and get to airfield. Our pilot was top notch!! Thanks for an incredible flight and experience. Highly recommend!

Highly recommend these people. Fantastic service, awesome pilot & you just can't beat the scenery. It's a must do 😀

Awesome experience! It was worth every second!!

Our pilot flew us to through the alpines to a nice landing spot that was by a frozen lake. We descended into a blanket of freshly fallen snow and were able to take some of the most magnificent pictures. The view of the mountain range as well as the aerial scenic views of Glenorchy were breathtakingly beautiful. This experience was a definite highlight of our trip. Highly recommend!

Worth every cent! The heli pilot, Kurt, was very knowledgeable of the area and a great photographer as well! My mum even got a bit touched by the beauty up in the air. It’s thruly a one of a kind experience. Would recommend to anybody who is seeking for that stunning scenery of What Nz is known for.

By far the best experience to date. My anxiety quickly turned to a rush of adrenaline once we lifted off.

Super friendly staff, absolutely loved it! Loved the whole experience thank you. One of the very best thing I did in Queenstown. I recommend this for everyone. You really can't leave Queenstown before you tried Heli Glenorchy, it's a must do! Cheers

Due to limited numbers, we were lucky enough to receive an upgrade to a longer flight. Our pilot was friendly and informative and told us all about the area up in the air. The ride was smooth and he took us over the mountains and right up against the ice from both sides so that everyone could get pictures. It was an amazing experience. Then we landed down in the valley and were given time to walk around and take pictures. Again the pilot was more than happy to take pictures for you. It was a great experience and I highly recommend it.

Was way better than I expected! The tour was just smooth, relaxed, informative, and really fun! Our tour guide, Joe, wasn’t just cool and funny, he also has superb driving-while-talking skills. ;) I like that we didn’t just sit in the transport all day; we get to have fun walks, we get to really admire the view and have really nice photos all courtesy of Joe. I love that we went to a secret location and did a little picnic. He even allowed me to borrow some robes and cool swords so I can dress up as Arwen while having yummy snacks and enjoying the place. I’ll definitely come back and bring my family and friends so they can experience an amazing trip as well! Thanks Pure Glenorchy! Till next time :)

Dave, you are amazing!!! A very knowledgeable, joker and a very kind tour guide. We request to drop by animal experience as we are the only family on the tour and wish granted!!! He makes sure that we enjoy and safe on our travel. Journey was so beautiful and i learn a lot on the places we went and about Glenorchy. Highly recommended!!!

Amazing trip i have the best experience amazing views and great customer service the drive knew a lot about the best places to take pictures definitely recommend it 100%

Absolutely brillant experience however I blinked and it was over. Our pilot Matt was really nice and informative. I would do it again in a heartbeat but I would definitely save a few more dollars in advance and go for a longer flight. We landed on mount Larkin which was like another planet very cool. My advise to anyone would be to do it however take out your camera for one of the flights either to or from your landing sight. On the other flight just open you eyes and take it all in!

Never seen snow before and even in the off season made the trip worthwhile. I was a kid in a candy store

Every single person we came into contact with when we visited here were so friendly and welcoming. By far one of the best things I have ever done, and so happy to have done it with this lovely company. Thank you so much. Danny our pilot was super cool and made the trip fun. Would highly recommend this company and the whole helicopter flight experience. Thank you so much 'The Helicopter Line' and Danny.

Got a call that we got an upgrade. First time I saw snow and what a moment. Perfect landing on the glacier. Can’t ask for me. In comparison to other tourist activities in price wise this was very good value. Thanks guys for the fantastic experience.
