We had booked the flight and they rang to let us know there was cloud where we would be landing and gave us the option to change the day. We did and everything was perfect the next day. The girls at reception were friendly and helpful and the pilot was great and informative. Highly recommended

First time ever in a helicopter. 30 minutes doesn’t sound much but it was long enough to experience the exhilaration of being able to view the beauty of Fiordland from the air AND land at such a dizzy height. It was amazing to be able to step out onto a mountain side. I faced my fear of heights and did it! We’ll worth the spend.

Excellent service from the team as weather meant we might miss out. Rearrangements made snd we were kept in the loop all the way. Excellent safety briefings from lovely staff. The flight was absolutely fantastic with Matt being very friendly and knowledgeable. Landed on a flat area for the most amazing photos ever. Fantastic from start to finish.
