Another level of experience! SUPERB! ❤️
Still can’t find the words to describe this amazing moment. It was stunning and something you have never seen before. And the pilot, Matt, he was incredible. I would say it’s totally worth it. This was one of the highlights of our South Island trip in New Zealand. 🇳🇿

Best helicopter ride
This ride is as magnificent as Franz josh. We landed on the edge of the snow mountain, the view is perfect and the snow is thick and fluffy. The pilot did not rush us to return and let us hav amount of time to enjoy the snow and phototaking.

Worth it for the amount they charged.
Great experience. But, I felt like the charge was higher than the flight charges from Auckland to queenstown. Overall our family had a marvelous experience. We were lost into the play individually. Amazingly

Kia ora, Thank you so much for flying with us and for sharing your experience. We’re delighted to hear that your family had such a marvelous time and that the flight created lasting memories for you all. We completely understand your comment on pricing, helicopter flights are a very different operation to commercial airlines, with smaller aircraft, specialised pilots, and unique landing locations, which does make the experience more costly. We truly believe the views and moments in Glenorchy are priceless, and we’re so glad you felt it was an amazing experience overall. We hope to welcome you back on board again one day for another adventure!

One perfect snow landing in glenorchy
Yesterday we went with Heli Glenorchy and it was an amazing experience. I went with my parents and we all loved it. The snow landing was perfect and definitely the highlight of the trip. The pilot was very nice and made the whole experience even better. The only thing I’d like to point out is that on Book Me the description says it includes three landings, but in reality it was only one landing on the snow mountain. This should be updated so it’s clear for future customers. Overall, it was a really memorable and enjoyable experience.
