Exceptional service from the girls in reception, working to accommodate a date change, even calling me back after a vacancy came up to fit us in. Our pilot Luke was very knowledgeable and friendly and made for an excellent flight. An awesome experience overall.

Starting with the booking process, continuing with checkin, and through out the flight, we were treated in a professional, knowledgeable, friendly manner. Jeremy, our pilot, was an excellent tour guide. He had great stories and showed us sights where some of the movie scenes were shot. We would highly recommend him, and your entire company.

What an experience! Originally had booked for the start of my stay in Queenstown but due to bad weather the company was in contact with me to reschedule. Communication was impeccable. Got picked up and transferred to the heli field. Then the flight itself was amazing! My pilot Jeremy was brilliant; very personable, professional and made the experience even better. The views were insane. Still can’t believe I got to do this. Even got offered a surprise printed photo at the end ($20NZD). So cool!

I had never done a helicopter flight before and this flight certainly didn't disappoint. Alfie, our pilot was fantastic. Flew us over breathtakingly beautiful snowy mountains and Skippers Canyon near Queenstown and then a landing where we could take some photos and just enjoy being in the snow. It was magical. Thank you so much for making this a very memorable 50th Birthday present for my husband. I would recommend this to people visiting Queenstown in a heartbeat!

This was probably one of the best things I've done in my life! The staff were wonderful and our pilot Kurt was fantastic. Great commentary throughout, smooth flight and great photographer for us once we landed on Clarke Glacier. Our 9am flight was cancelled, but we were able to get on a 2pm flight which gave us the most beautiful blue skies that made the experience breathe taking. I'd highly recommend this experience to anyone
