Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

What an amazing experience and a day not to forget. As an intermediate skier I was initially nervous i would be out of my depth. I was definitely challenged having signed up for the 7 runs, but it was without a doubt an amazing day. From the very start the crew at Harris Mountain were standout. Our amazing guides Anna and Mike were exceptional and our pilot Doug was so skillful the places he can land that heli. If you get the chance for this adventure, do it, you wont regret it.

Thanks Chris (Guide) and Nigel (Heli-Pilot) for an amazing day in the Harris Mountains. We were very fortunate to get some fresh snow overnight and then have Blue Bird conditions the next day - had 7 awesome runs, helicopter landing on the ridge line and then hoping out to discover a new fresh face/line each time was very cool. Lunch was good also - nothing to fault - we would love to do it again - just got to start saving the pennies now for next year GW.

First time heli boarding and it was fantastic. Guides were great, the pilot was so good, everyone at Harris Mountains could not be more helpful. Never expected the best boarding I’ve ever done to happen in spring.

We are an all ladies ski trip and loved our experience with Harris Heli. Rick and Roger were thorough and thoughtful guides and we had such an incredible time with them. We always felt safe and found the best snow throughout the day. Thank you for making our heli skiing such a blast. We will definitely be back and highly recommend Harris Heli to anyone looking to have the best time of their life. Thank you!

For the first time in my life, I decided to book a full day of heli-snowboarding. What a day! What an incredible experience. From booking to end of the day, all the different steps are mastered by the team of Harris. Everyone is very professional and you feel that there is a long experience behind what they are doing. A must do if you are in Queenstown!

What a magnificent day - from the booking staff to guides to pilot - everyone was friendly professional and effective.
Then the actual heliski day! Wow!! Totally untracked smooth slopes expertly selected lines and incredible views. Lifetime memorable day.
Our fellow skiers were worldly wise Heli skiers and said it was amongst the best heli skiing in the world.

I've been snowboarding for approx 5 years now and never took the plunge to go heliboarding until recently going with Harris Mountain Heli Ski. Could not recommend them enough. They were able to pair us up with our other 2 friends who had already booked with them so we virtually had our own private helicopter (Munza) + guide (Andy) for the day!
After a quick safety briefing and weigh in we were up in the air looking at the several peaks we were going to be dropping in on for the day. Initially we went with the 4 run package but after the first run we knew we made a mistake and asked to be upgraded to the 7 run package. After 4 runs we had a delicious alpine lunch and got some awesome photos with the helicopter.
Lunch was done, belly's were full and we were ready to ride our final 3 runs. When 7/7 runs were completed and our legs were screaming for a break we were stoked on the day we had.
Safety in the backcountry is of course never guaranteed but the team at Harris mountain heli ski made my friends and I feel as safe as we possibly could be. HUGE shoutout to our guide Andy who took us down some gnarly lines without compromising our safety. Andy shared some great stories from his 28 years of being a guide. If your lucky enough to have him as your guide you are guaranteed to have a good day.
Thanks to everyone from Harris Mountain Heli Ski for a day that we will talk about for many years!

The crew at Harris mountain including Chris & Maddy in the office, Davey our pilot and Whitney our guide were awesome. Chris and maddy were always happy to help with questions and provide advice. Davey our pilot was a master craftsman. We were so amazed at his skills of parking the chopper on the tiniest of peaks to drop us off and then flying in within centimetres to pick us up. Whitney our guide was Super friendly and was always keen to get us the best lines. He catered for the whole group, showing more difficult lines are the easier routes. Stoked to ski back country nz.

Hi,
We are usually up and running for the start of July but we can go out earlier if there has been a significant amount of snow.
Thank you!
