While we couldn’t snowmobile due to the lack of snow, the tour company offered a helicopter/Milford Sound experience that was over the top! Professional, engaging and well worth the money, I highly recommend this tour when touring a sound. We also stopped at a glacier covered mountain and took pictures of the incredible view. The staff was very accommodating and responsive with every inquiry.
Fly, ride, snow WOW!

The whole experience was professionally managed throughout. The helicopter trip over the mountains offers a breathtaking view of Queenstown. The snowmobile trail ride was safe but exciting. A 650cc motorbike on skis. Step off the bike and you are knee deep in powdered snow….. WOW! WOW! WOW!

A great family trip, fantastic helicopter flight with great scenery. Snow mobiling high in the remote Queenstown mountains was so much fun, a child each as passengers on the snow mobile was no problem for a first timer, easy, no experience needed. Luke our helicopter pilot and Das our guide for the snow mobiles were awesome and made the trip easy. Highly recommend this experience
