Review of: Southern Alps Scenic
An amazing company offering incredible tours. I cannot speak highly enough of the professional and caring relationships I have experienced when dealing with Christchurch helicopters. Jess and Tim particularly were top-notch and would recommend a tour with these guys any day of the week. Keep u the amazing work!…

Review of: Southern Alps Scenic
Thanks to Jess for arranging the 2 combined flights. Jess went out of her way to make sure we got the best experience. We combined the Akaroa & Banks Peninsula with the Southern Alps which was breath taking. What topped the experience off was that we had Richie McCaw as our pilot. One of the nicest guys I have ever meet. Thanks again for a great experience Jess and Richie. Hamish and Karen.…

Review of: Southern Alps Scenic
The weather wasn't playing the game in the morning, but Jess kept in contact regularly and made sure I could get up as soon as it cleared. Once I arrived, I was greeted by her friendly smile and made to feel right at home - until Richie McCaw stepped into the room. Fair to say I was somewhat overawed by his presence, however he is a very down-to-earth and personable bloke. After a safety briefing, we were soon flying towards the Southern Alps. He was quite informative, pointing out heaps of interesting things I would have otherwise missed, and he obviously knew how to fly that machine. And I'll tell you something for nothing, the views from up there were incredible. So much so that I was speechless for much of the flight. Just staring out the windows like an idiot. Flying in a helicopter so close to the mountains gives an amazing new perspective on "our backyard", and I encourage anyone who hasn't experienced it to give Christchurch Helicopters a call. You will not regret it.…

We had booked for a morning flight but the weather didn’t play the game. Jess was brilliant at keeping us informed and came up with a new plan. We were extra lucky to have a ex rugby All Black captain as our pilot. Thanks so much for the flight.

Review of: Trial Flight
We wanted to find an activity to do after the COVID-19 lockdown ended. Fortunately for us, Jess from Christchurch Helicopters happily scheduled trial helicopter flights for us the very first day of Alert Level 2. Our instructor, Scott, was very knowledgeable and encouraging, which made me feel more confident about flying a helicopter for the first time. During the Trial Flight, we flew over Christchurch City Center and practiced hovering drills. The entire staff was cheerful and enthusiastic about flying. The experience made us interested in learning to fly helicopters in the future. This is a can't-miss experience for anyone interested in learning to fly!…
