      Wedding anniversary was REMARKABLE!
      The service right from confirmation phone call through to our pilot taking our photo and having it printed for when we landed was exceptional! The flight there was picturesque and the pilots commentary as we flew over various parts was appreciated. Although I was nervous about flying in a helicopter, I LOVED the experience! My husband and I enjoyed celebrating our wedding anniversary like we were on top of the world, it truly was remarkable!

      Milford Sound by sky - highly recommend!
      One of the most incredible experiences we have had to date. Milford Sound is a once in a lifetime, highly recommend for anyone especially if you are short on time, a few hours and being able to take in the incredible views, two landings and commentary along the way is well worth the money. Thankyou!!

      A must do in Queenstown
      A truly excellent adventure. Our friendly and welcoming pilot, Geremy, was extremely knowledgeable and informative, making the trip even better. Landed us smoothly on the glacier, and even doubled as our champagne waiter! All of us enjoyed Milford Sound, the close up views of the mountains and glaciers, and the commentary. Also thanks to the ground crew for making our briefing, and transfers so seamless.

      AMAZING TRAVEL!
      I thought going into the helicopter would be scary and fast but it felt very safe. And the pilot was very kind. And the pilot gave me a lot of information. It was so fun and amazing!

    This may be a once in a lifetime experience. The landscape is breathtaking. The tour was perfect, exactly as explained, and exceeded every expectation.
    Our pilot, Stu, was a terrific guide. Experienced and with deep local knowledge (he hunts and camps in the mountains we overflew). He was keen on safety, while making every aspect of the trip fun and rewarding for us.
    We made three landings - one on a glacier; one next to a mountain lake and waterfall, surrounded by peaks (I kept looking around for a Night Fury to land near us!); and the last, our lunch picnic, on a peak overlooking Lake Wakatipu.

    Go watch the Lord Of The Rings movies. Then imagine yourself flying over all of those shots.

    There just "aren't enough words." You will never regret this trip!

    Kia Ora, Thank you for such a glowing review. Pilot Stu is one of our most experienced pilots and will be so glad to hear your experiences. You are right, we are so lucky to call this place home, and to be able to fly over such spectacular scenery everyday. Thank you again for taking the time to review your flight with us. Nga Mihi Amber
