The team at Heliworks were fantastic, including the driver pick up from Heritage hotel. The flight with pilot Callum lasted 50 mins and included two landings, one on snow. An unforgettable, breathtaking experience with stunning views of Queenstown, valleys and snow capped mountains. It left us speechless. Worth every dollar, you won't be disappointed- with memories for life !
