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.

Glacier landings from Milford Sound, such a spectacular flight with a great team, from the young man who greeted us to the very skillful pilot

My wife and I had the privilege to take a helicopter tour with Te Anau helicopters, this was the best experience we have ever had, the tour was something that we will never forget.
Flying through what looked like untouched land and having the experience of landing on top of a glacial waterfall was something I will never forget.
We booked a 4 hour tour to Milford Sound with a cruise helicopter there and back.
Thanks to our pilot he was bloody great, do yourself a favour pay the extra you will not be disappointed.

Outstanding and professional service in every way. Can’t recommend them highly enough. Friendly, helpful, and clearly knowledgeable (and safe).
I have no connection to them (and didn’t say anything to them) but I’m also a professional pilot and was very impressed with the whole operation.

The Doubtful Sound helicopter tour was the highlight of our one-month long, first time, tour of both the North and South islands. It was far more diversified, impressive and enjoyable than the Milford Sound cruise we did the day before. The fjords that comprise Doubtful Sound are far more in number and varied, and peaceful. The vistas provided by helicopter, and the sense of things, were spectacular. The geographic, flora and fauna comments provided by the kind pilot were very helpful. The one-time landing on a high ridge left us with much more of a tactile sense of things than would have otherwise been the case. Bonuses were sightings of a rare bird and a family of reindeer-like animals.

We needed to change the trip that we had booked and the girls in the office made this very easy to do - they kept us informed of any changes due to weather - they were also dealing with an emergency rescue when our flight was due- very professional and calm
Ben our pilot was excellent- extremely knowledgeable and went above and beyond to ensure our trip was the success it was
Thanks so much - would highly recommend

My wife and I booked a 1 hour flight over Doubtful Sound. As my wife is a wheelchair user we were very impressed with the efforts Frazer (Our pilot) and Helen made to accommodate us.
We had the most amazing trip which included 2 landings, one right on top of the mountain next to a lake, absolutely breathtaking.
We took off from Te Anau Airport
Highly Recommend this company

Awesome helicopter ride around Milford Sound, visited Sutherland Falls where one of the Mission Impossible films was filmed.
Very cool pilot who told us about places of interest, sorry can't remember his name.
Had done a boat trip in the morning which was awesome, seeing the stunning scenery from the air well that was incredible.
You have to treat yourself and go for a flight

We learned the Milford Sound road was closed a couple days before our scheduled cruise and we contacted several helicopter services to arrange alternative transportation. Te Anau Helicopter was most friendly and accommodating, and quickly got us scheduled (3 adults). Pilot Blake did an outstanding job of pointing out scenic highlights during the flights and was an expert source of information. He walked us to the cruise terminal to make sure we connected with our cruise, and met us there afterward. As a bonus, he landed near a high altitude glacial lake on the way back for some spectacular photos. We highly recommend Blake and TeAnau Helicopter Services.

Everyone who I spoke to employed here went above and beyond my expectations. Stacey (hope that's right) at the front desk, in particular was on the phone personally multiple times to get a trip organised for me on my final day in Te Anau. Mike our pilot also made sure we all (including a young kid who he showed around the helicopter) were extremely satisfied, but most of all safe considering the very overcast flight.
Would recommend to anyone.
P.s. Apologies for the phone photos!

Monday 13th Nov. I would like a price on x2 people being flown to a point on the Kepler Track from which we could then walk back to Te Anau?
Thanks
