Took a heli flight up to the top of Mount Fyffe, over the ocean where we saw dolphins and then we flew through the valley which was incredible! We landed on the top of the mountain and spent time taking in the amazing panoramic views of the ocean and snow covered mountains. Pilot Dan was great and so knowledgable.10/10 would recommend!!
Thanks South Pacific!!

The favourite part about the experience was seeing a Blue whale. The Pilot was absolutely good looking and hot, which made the experience even better. Pete was so professional and oh my God, the hottest pilot I’ve ever laid my eyes on.
The trip was good, take off and landing was perfect. Single ladies, if you want to enjoy a hot pilot alongside a scenic view, try them!
Highly recommended!!

The whole experience was fantastic, from walking into the gorgeous log building to getting into the helicopter, to landing. Daniel was the pilot, such a nice guy, very professional We saw a whale and loads of dolphins before heading into the mountains to land at Lake Hapuku which had been created by the earthquake. The time passed so quickly, we could have flown all day. I would recommend this flight to everyone.

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.
