We had the best time! Pilot Pete was a great guide. We saw heaps of dolphins, an albatross and a sperm whale. It was an amazing experience we will never forget. The team were great at getting our 2 1/2 year old comfortable with the helicopter and the ear muffs. He has not stopped talking about his helicopter ride since!
We got plenty of information before the flight and during. It was unforgettable seeing the whale but even if we hadn't spotted one I know we would have still had a great time. Thanks so much!!

Amazing experience. Helicoptered up to Mt Fyffe and it was easily the best thing done all holiday. Pete our pilot was exceptional and all the staff were extremely welcoming and obliging. Even took up a beer for us to drink on the Mountain. We landed on top of the mountain and played in the snow for a good half hour. Cant say enough about how great this was. Had kids aged 17 and 14 and they agreed was the best thing so far. Highly recommend.

This was an amazing experience, my older brother is a paraplegic but the guys here had no issues getting him into the helicopter. We were so lucky the weather had cleared and there was snow on the hills. We followed the fault line, learnt lots and had an amazing time.
