Awesome - We had a wonderful day to do this tour. The pilot was very competent and we felt very safe. It was our first time on a helicopter and it felt like we were peacefully gliding over the amazing scenery.

A True Highlight - Definitely a highlight of our trip to NZ's South Island. It was my partners first trip in a helicopter and he loved it. The event ran smoothly and on time.

A fantastic experience. Oh, great. - It was a beautiful flight. The 55 minutes are actually too short. We had beautiful weather, no clouds, clear skies. You kept taking pictures. The pilot is also the guide. He gives information about the mountains and the glaciers. Very impressive all of them.
