This ride was just perfect. The pilot Greg gave us much history of the area and pointed out areas of interest. Then, when we landed on the top of the mountain in the snow field, it was exhilarating. He took pictures and before we even took off the pictures were available in a beautiful card for us to purchase at the end of the Journey, it was worth every penny

I booked heli flight in mt cook in late evening to next morning 9.00. I went airport office 8.30 like should be, they said i was the only one who booked that flight so i can't go. I asked why they called me yearlier that is cancelled that reason and i drove there in vain. They said office just opened so there was nobody at work at morning before 8.30. in any case, the weather was bad, but I would have liked to know when I booked the trip in the evening that no one else was coming so that I wouldn't have driven to the place in vain

Third time lucky Gorgeous day great flight - but I flew with my friend from Australia and booked this for a “snow landing” since he never seen snow - not a happening thing at this time of year - this should have been explained as we could’ve paid less just for a scenic flight which is all we got really

We did the 35min flight with the landing, we were pleased it took the alternative route as this was much closer to Mt Cook. Weather was great, views, commentary and landing made all the difference. If doing it again, we would do the 40min flight or go from the Mt Cook airport.

I appreciate that it was necessary to cancel all flights today because of the weather. What I find piss poor is the lack of notification advising of this, when you made the decision to ground all helicopters. We incurred a 400km round trip unnecessarily as a result of your poor customer service. Not the surprise birthday present I was hoping to give my wife.
