5.00Fantastic! Our pilot, Anthony, was pleasant and professional. His verbal commentary told us about the sites as we were flying over them. At landings, he was always willing to take her pictures and set us up for great shots looking at the scenery. I highly recommend this trip!! definitely a bucket list item!
Stunning Milford experience.

5.00A big shout out to the crew at Glacier Southern Lakes Helicopters. They made our flight exceptional. We have flown in many helicopters (military and commercial). The Airbus that Luke maneuvered expertly over mountaintops, ridges, the Sound, valleys, rivers, glaciers, and lakes was superb. We were well cared for providing us opportunities to get out and explore periodically throughout the flight. The team picked us up and dropped us off at our hotel in Queenstown. This is the most spectacular scenic flight tour ever.
Amazing, definately would recommend

5.00Fantastic trip around Milford Sound with Steve. Picked up at Blanket Bay, then 3 landings. Steve was an outstanding pilot, and also proved to be an excellent photographer. We got all the iconic shots!

5.00Best experiences ever & mainly because we had an incredible operator Jeremy! Start to finish was epic. Staff all sooooo nice. We saw rain was forecasted so we called to see if we could switch to the next day and they were so accommodating! It was a good decision too because the next day was perfect! Pick up and drop off was flawless! Highly recommended. Thank you for a moment we’ll remember forever!!
Lifetime memory with my Dad!

5.00We "splurged" on the 2hr tour with starting point in Queenstown. We are so happy that we did this. Every interaction was professional and friendly. The tour brought memories for a lifetime with my Dad. It is often the first thing we talk about when people ask about our 2 weeks in NZ. Our whole trip was wonderful, but this stood out as a highlight. 2 hours was the right amount of time, and the start in QT allowed us to have the rest of the day for other activities. Luke was a perfect pilot and tour guide.
Trip of a lifetime 😚
