  Great experience and amazing scenery - our first helicopter ride. Improvements could be made tho in sound quality as both of us heard very little of what the pilot said during the trip, which was a LOTR trip with a pilot who worked there during filming, so that communication was to be part of what we paid for as we're huge LOTR fans. And we got very very little of that. Addl - don't know if headphones are sanitized between rides, but each of us wore 3 different ones during the trip, so if someone had communicate disease issues, it was certainly passed around through handling and wearing of those. Pilot was almost too professional/aloof -and was clock watching - too keep on schedule I'm sure - but we were delayed before taking off and he was visibly upset by that

• A must flying experience in Queenstown

  These folks are professionals! What a strong start to my trip! We landed in a couple of amazing places which just took my breath away. I feel privileged to have landed atop a glacier, since they're melting, seize the opportunity! I came away with great feelings, a friendly chat with the pilot who is an absolute MVP and 980 photos total. Mind-blowing, courteous and absolutely amazing! Go fly with them!

  I came with high expectations and they were easily exceeded. Ernie's effortless skill was evident and he showed us the LOTR locations and their stories from his personal experience. He made sure to approach from every angle to ensure everyone had a good view. The scenery was stunning. Coming over the pass very low, then rising up over it at the last minute created a surreal effect of the glaciated peak to pop up right before our eyes, with cascading waterfalls, yawning crevasses, and sparkling snow fields.... Then we landed on it. I usually have to backpack for days, then climb for hours for such vistas... It seemed almost unreal that we just popped up there in a heli in just a few minutes. Even if you are not an LOTR fan you must do this flight if you are any where near the area.
