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.

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.

Great experience! Sadly too short!

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!

The whole experience was great, from the start to the finish. Very easy instructions and itinerary to follow and get an understanding of what was happening on the day. Our driver Ben, was very friendly and gave us heaps of help and info what to do with the rest of our trip while staying in Queenstown, went over and above to make us feel welcome, hotel pickup and drop off was convenient and helpful. All staff and pilot was great and friendly. The whole trip taking off and being shown all the scenery and history was great with Blair. Landing up on the mountain. Strongly reccomend for anyone, definitely a lifelong memory that you will always have to remember Queenstown!

Yep that's all I can say is AWESOME got some amazing photos, the staff are so great, my flight was rescheduled due to the worst rain ever, the staff booked me in for the next day & as I was coming from Wanaka I had to ring really early to see if the trip would be on & there was someone at the end of the phone which I was surprised about so a big plus for me. I would defiantly recommend these guys.

Bucket List - tick ✔️

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!

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.

Whilst Milford Sound in its own right is a place of majestic beauty and grandiosity, the flight from Queenstown to Milford with True South Flight, was a real gem! So much beauty seen, so much interesting and valuabke information given by our friendly and professional pilote, Kevin (?). More than worth its price!

Jetting the Dart

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...

Staff/owners were absolutely amazing! So friendly and welcoming. Well looked after animals with lots of space to roam with very clean looking paddocks/pens. Wonderful that you can feed the animals and even get into the paddocks with some of them. Though it is a very short experience. Perfect for just a morning activity.

Up Close and Personal with Farm Animals!

This is definitely a must try when you drive to Glenorchy! It was about 45 minutes to 1 hour drive from Queenstown CBD. The experience is very unique as you get to interact very closely with different farm animals such as pigs, Llamas, Sheep, Deer, Goats, and many more! The payment for entry came with a bag of treats, and the staff at the front give you very clear instructions on how to feed the animals. There were 4 of us so we were handed 2 bags of treats. There is also an option to purchase covers for your shoes in case the day is a bit wet (This was the case for when we went). It was definitely an unforgettable experience and we were so glad to be able to do this when we visited. Thank you!

Overall, my wee boys loved the experience and for them it was well worth it. The animals are very well looked after and you can see the people taking care of them has a passion for their job. The farm was also well kept and had spectacular views. The sheep shearing was also very informative once again a hit with our boys. Animals are tame and friendly. The whole experience will take you about 1-1:30 hours including the shearing.
