Aside from that dredded fog meaning our flight was delayed - we had a great heli escape! Jolanda and Richard were both lovely and it was amazing to fly up and get to stand on what felt like the top of the world! Commentary wasn't great as the headsets were very hard to hear from but to be honest, the view says it all.

Dear Kristie

Thank you very much for taking the time go give us a nice review after your Cromwell Basin Flight with Alpine Landing last week.

We are sorry about your average experience with our headsets - we pride ourselves in using top-of-the-line noise-cancelling Bose A20 aviation headsets. Unfortunately on your flight, one of the other passenger's kid was tapping the microphone consistently which made the intercom system overheat and cut out. Once Richard realised what was happening, he reset it and it worked fine again.

As for the fog, we're yet to crack that one :-) - thanks for hanging with us while we all waited for it to lift.

We hope to welcome you and Trevor on board again on your next Queenstown get-away.

Kind regards,

Jolanda and Richard Foale

This was a fantastic experience . Excellent flight and the snow landing was breathtaking. Jolanda and family were warm, friendly and professional. The hot chocolate was welcome. Rug up its chilly at the top! Will definitely recommend and do again.

The team here were soooo helpful and lovely to deal with. Felt very at home. The safe aspect was very clear and I loved the commentary flying up to the pristine snow capped mountains. We were the only people up there and it felt like we had discovered a secret snow garden. They took spectacular photos that we could keep as memoirs with us in them. My new Facebook cover photo which got most comments ever. I want to go with them again on the bike experience......next time.

My partner and I booked the 45 min trip. It was such and amazing experience, the weather was perfect and the flight was smooth. Pilot is very knowledgable on the area, the fight included a hot chocolate at the top and 10 mins of walking around the summit and time to be able to get pictures wit the helicopter. The operators as very friendly and are happy to answer any questions. Their safety briefing and instructions were clear and precise. We knew what to do and what not to do at al time.

Very strongly recommended, these guys do an amazing job and its the family business!
