Brilliant trip on a big sky Queenstown morning - great service from check in and our pilot was knowledgeable about the local landscape. Would definitely recommend

Very proffesional company! Definitly worth the money, ones in a lifetime experience! Whenever you have the change do this trip with this company!!! Combination of heli flight and boat trip is the best!

Thank you for an amazing time. One of the best things we've ever done and the highlight of our holiday. From the greeting by the wonderful Alfie, to the magical moment Luke landed effortlessly on a snowy mountain and finally the kindness of Holly taking us back from the airport. We cannot praise everyone we met enough. Thank you for making our holiday.

We had an unbelievable trip with Michael as the pilot/guide. Though weather didn't permit a Glacier landing, the vistas at the landing spots, the spectacular nature around Queenstown that we got a closeup birds-eye view it of more than made up for that. Informative background commentary of the different movie locations, spectacular scenery and exiting flying really make the the experience something special. Thanks again for a great ride!

Outstanding experience. Seamless , professional, friendly and a very experienced and knowledgeable pilot. An absolutely amazing experience. All staff are to be highly commended.

Phenomenal trip! 2 x landings with 1 on a glacier. Seeing the area from the air and up close is amazing with a very different view from anywhere else. Cody was amazing with positioning the helicopter exactly to capture the best view. Highly recommend this trip with this company (Southern Glacier Lakes Helicopters).

A very professionally run outfit right from booking and checkin to a very enjoyable flight experience. Our pilot Jeremy was very informative and the glacier landing was something special. Helicopter very spacious and all 6 passengers get great views. Would recommend these guys any time you are in Queenstown.

What an incredible experience for our first trip to Queenstown! We saw the most beautiful sites from the sky and on the ground. Being in the helicopter, flying in and out of the clouds, and seeing the snow capped mountains was breathtaking. This was also our first helicopter flight which pilot Jeremy made so memorable. We were fortunate to make all 3 landings, beach, Milford town, and Bryant Glacier basin.

This was truly a once in a lifetime remarkable experience from start to finish. Our pilot Michael was amazing, super friendly, informative and was more than happy to take pictures. I can not recommend this enough if you are in Queenstown.

Our light plane flight to Milford Sound did not go ahead due to weather. Walked into Glacier Helicopters and they helped us with a flight to Milford sound. Landed and had time for a walk around. Return flight - landed in alpine snow. Such a great experience from start to finish. Reception staff exceptional. Pilot (Cody) professional, skilled and I felt very safe. Worth every cent and won’t forget this amazing experience.

This was the second helicopter trip for us in a few days. Nice modern helicopter, tried to maximise views for all people. We were again lucky with the weather as the following day was constant rain and low clouds. The trip itself was good up to the top, landing for photo opportunities over Queenstown. Pilot was very informative. Overall good experience.

What an experience with a hefty price tag Not 5 star because of following It’s a stretch of the imagination really to say lord of the rings tour! Yes you do see some of the locations but … They give you a booklet per couple to read as you are boarding I’m squashed In the front with some lady trying not to move and husband is sat in the back with book! We sat In reception for 15 mins before boarding maybe hand out a book each to look at before as once your on you want to look at sights not read a book. Would have been nice to have option to take book away Pilot found some deer on mountain top circled them poor deers panicked I felt the welfare of the dear wasn’t taken into account! However positives did 2 landing first one on a ridge don’t ask me how the helicopter didn’t fall off! 2 nd landing on snow was told it’s not glacier it’s melting snow. Very surreal experience getting out so peaceful and humbling just stupidly had none waterproof trainers on so soggy feet oops. Pilot took lots of photos at both landings 4 of us on trip so everyone had good views. Have to say the seat in front is tiny originally I was on outside but the handle dug in my leg so there was no way I could sit there so swapped to inside and other lady fitted fine but think it helped I sat right over to give her room not what happened when I was on Outside

Michael our pilot was excellent. The flight up was picturesque and breathtaking. We had an amazing time up in the snow and had an amazing experience.

My partner and I had an absolutely phenomenal scenic alpine flight experience! The views were stunning, and it made for a truly memorable couple’s adventure. Our flight instructor was not only skilled but also incredibly cool, taking pictures of us throughout the journey, which made it even more special. The transport was well-organized, and the customer service was exceptional — the receptionist staff even reached out when I nearly lost my driver’s license. It was a perfect day for both of us, and we highly recommend it for couples looking for a unique and unforgettable experience!

We took two flights with these guys and were so impressed by their calm, cheerful professionalism and knowledge of the local area. The first time, they delivered us to a sunny mountain top so we could get married on a freezing winter's day. Our toddler got cold, so the pilots sat inside a helicopter with her, chatting away. The second time was to Milford Sound with a glacier landing on the way back. We need to give kudos to Cody for his photo skills - he took so many great pics of us at each landing. Thank you so much! We felt like we were in safe hands the whole time.
