Spectacular! - This was my first time in a helicopter. We had a beautiful day for flying. The pilot was knowledgeable in his commentary. We had a booking snafu, but they made it right and got us up the mountain.

Outstanding - This is a once in a lifetime experience- we did the 40 min tour and flew around Mt Cook and Mt Tasman. Also the Fox, Tasman and Franz Josef glaciers. The views were breathtaking. Our pilot, Richard was very skilled friendly and informative. The staff back at the base were also very friendly, efficient and accommodating. I would highly recommend this tour and this company

Top Notch! - We had an excellent experience with this company from the time we booked to the end of the flight. All the staff were friendly and helpful. The flight itself was magic! Only one suggestion: it would be helpful if the online booking times actually matched what time slots were available. Otherwise, just remove the booking tool and have people call or email for availability.

It was a gorgeous sunny day but we... - <p>It was a gorgeous sunny day but we didnt get to do the 40 min mt cook spectacular helicopter flight due to strong winds over mt cook so they changed it to a 30 minute flight over fox and Franz Josef glaciers with a snow landing and it was great and still well worth it! Stunning scenery and it was great up in the snow line as they had had some fresh snow overnight. Best views of the glaciers!</p>
