Amazing, well worth the cost. Well organised, great pilot, mind blowing scenery. Allow at least 2 days or some flexibility in case of cancellations due to weather which can be common

We hiked around the Mt Cook area but decided to take a helicopter to see even more. It was so worth it!
Frustrating

We had the worst communication and customer service leading up to our booking. Multiple phone calls to change our flight time with various inconsistent reasons. Things like, not meeting minimum numbers, flight over weight, another couple cancelled, ither couple did not arrive, flights are delayed flights are on time etc..after checking and waiting for our booked flight (which was altered 3 times before we arrived) we were told our 55min experience was cancelled. This was after watching 2 other groups who arrived after us board the helicopters in our booking time. We were offered a reduced flight time of 30min as bad weather was setting in, but we walked away very disappointed with our experience. Our originsl time was 3 hours earlier in the day when the skies were crystal clear. We understand the weather can cancel flights but this wasn't our issue.. Staff told us differentl story's, changed reasons making it very frustrating. I would recommend booking with another helicopter company with better service. Which is what we have done.
