Absolutely amazing - We did the helicopter picnic and landed on the snow topped ridge of the southern alps. Such incredible views and a wonderful platter of food was supplied with a bottle of rose. Our pilot was great and we were lucky enough to do a quick sweep over the ocean to spot a whale on the way back. Definitely a must do for anyone’s travel/ experience bucket list
