From start to finish everything was smooth, friendly and professional. Would highly recommend, still can’t wipe the smile off our faces hours later! It’s our third time in Queenstown and our absolute top experience here, well worth the price.

The tour was so much fun and definitely worth it!

We were able to land on three separate locations based on the tour we chose and it was fantastic, unlike anything we have done before. Our pilot, Jeremy, was awesome and was so knowledgeable and personable. The staff was great to work with and highly experienced. Highly recommend booking!

This was an unforgettable experience

The highlight of my trip to New Zealand. The pilot was professional, friendly, and provided excellent explanations throughout the tour. The scenery was absolutely breathtaking, with incredible views of mountains, glaciers, and Milford Sound. Landing on the glacier and experiencing the snow up close was truly magical. Everything was perfectly organized, and I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Queenstown. Thank you for an amazing adventure!

A Sure Hit for All Ages!

Well run operation. The fly/cruise/fly tour by helicopter to Milford Sound is a must do. The scenery on the flight is spectacular and the cruise on Milford Sound is so scenic with steep canyon walls and lots of waterfalls. The staff were always smiling, genuinely love their jobs, and make every effort to assure each and every guest has a fun and memorable experience. Kurt was our pilot and he was informative along the way and did a great job keeping the ride comfortable.

I’ll be back the next time I visit Queenstown!

Amazing once in a lifetime experience. A MUST do, especially with this company

Our pilot was extremely gentle but showed us all what was on offer there and back. He pointed out interesting and spectacular features of the trip. Offering information as we went. And throwing in a few sneaky adrenaline rush’s. So much fun and amazing views. Got to see wild goats on the way back. Flew close but not too close to the mountains. Was very mindful of a nervous passenger. Could not recommend this company highly enough, from pick up on the bus to flying to getting us to the cruise on time and flying us back. So safe, leaving a once in a lifetime experience in our minds. Awesome company and experience

Bucket list trip!!!

Absolutely amazing! The views were breathtaking and having the opportunity to land on a snow covered mountain was a dream come true. Our pilot was friendly and very thorough in his explanations and knowledge of what we were seeing. He helped take pictures and definitely ensured our safety. Take off and landings were very smooth. I highly recommend this trip!

Professional & Friendly – Incredible Journey!

It was very easy to book with them. Everyone we met was friendly and professional. Our pilot, Luke, was outstanding. The experience itself was the highlight of our trip. It was our first trip to NZ and without question we already wanted to come back and do another flight. We will definitely book with these guys again. Highly recommend.
