I took my 17 year old son on a flight with Alpine Landing last week. It was so amazing, a once of a lifetime experience we will both cherish. Yolanda was so beautiful and friendly and Richard is a great pilot. I felt so safe the entire trip. His commentary and knowledge of the region was such an added bonus to the flight. Landing on the mountain with breathtaking views and being served the most beautiful creamy hot chocolate brought tears to my eyes. If you are looking for something to do around Queenstown, make sure to pay Yolanda and Richard a visit. Thank you to the both of you, this was the highlight to my trip to Queenstown.

We popped in on the off chance that there would be a flight to go on that afternoon. Unfortunately there wasn't, but Jolanda promised to phone us if an opportunity came up. Sure enough, the next morning she phoned saying there was still nothing available. But soon after that she phoned to say Yes, we could go! A lovely family run business. Jolanda was very welcoming and friendly and Richard was a great pilot. Our flight was incredible. Richard provided an excellent commentary throughout the flight. The landing on the mountain was stunning! Hot chocolate warmed our cold hands. Enough time to take in the scenery and snap some photos. Richard also took photos of us which we were able to purchase on a USB when we left. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience and definitely recommend to all!

Fantastic experience!!! Our 6yr old enjoyed herself, it was her first helicopter flight. Awesome scenery and hot chocolate upon snow landing. Video footage purchased at the end was terrific, it was like going on the flight again. Commentary was really informative and covered lots of different aspects of the region. Safety always in mind of Peter and Yolanda.

I would certainly recommend Yolanda and Richard.
Your assurance of awesome service and wonderful experience will start with a phone call to Heliview and Yolanda answering the phone and asking what she can do for you to make our vacation/experience superb.

We had a blast and would recommend to anyone and would do it again.

THANKS Yolanda for the hot chocolate at the top of the Mountain, for booking our bus tickets and organizing whole day for us.

THANKS Richard for your valuable time driving us around, dropping us at the station and of course being a pilot/tour guide on our flight :)

You guys are AWESOME, our greetings to your daughter and doggy
