5.00Out of all tours this one i looked forward to the most, even more so because it was my birthday & a once in a lifetime experience with my husband and our 3 son's. And it was unreal. Thankyou to the team who were absolutely awesome, especially to our pilot Steven who was absolutely fantastic very courteous and knowledgeable. I very much appreciated the myth & legend story of the Taniwha and how Lake Wakaripu became the great lake it is now. If your thinking of booking this experience, Book it!
Great Trip

5.00I’m a helicopter addict & this one was as good as they all are…fantastic. Wonderful views, great flight, (got to sit in front for half the journey). Probably wouldn’t do the landing again, better to spend all the time flying. Stunning countryside, great pilot, good commentary, loved it.
Amazing experience overlooking beautiful Queenstown

5.00My first time in a helicopter and it met all expectations. From the friendly pickup from our accommodation, to the quick and easy service, before heading for our flight. Exciting, safe and un-rushed.
Incredible!
