5.00We hoped for an amazing trip but everything exceeded our expectations! The booking process and arrival was all seamless and the quality of the team, helicopter and organisation was exceptional! The excitement was palpable and our landings were beyond amazing... What really made our trip memorable was our pilot, "Jacko" who left no stone unturned in ensuring we all had an immersive experience and gave a fabulous commentary as we viewed the most amazing terrain. Thank you for one of the most fabulous days we have had and will always remember...
Helicopter to Milfound Sound and Three Landings!

5.00Amazing helicopter ride with pilot, "Louie," over the mountain ranges and landing at Milford Sound. Included tickets for a premium cruise with gourmet lunch provided by Heliworks. Pilot met us after the 90 minute cruse on the Sound and we then took off to three planned landings on the way back to Queenstown. This is the only company that has approval to make these landings on 1) a glacier, 2) a mountain top and 3) an alpine meadow with waterfalls. We could not make the glacier landing that day as a weather front was moving in and it was too dangerous. Otherwise I cannot recommend this experience any more highly. It was a highlight of my trip to Queenstown and environs.
