We did a heli tour as a family of 5. It was cloudy in the morning, yet when we checked in around 12pm, the sunshine comes out. We love the scenic view from the helicopter. It was our first time to see and touch the snow that all of us got so excited. The extra blessing was it started to snow when we were about to depart from the snowy mountain. The staff are helpful and experienced. It is one of the must do things in New Zealand.

My wife and I did one of the Heli-dine trips and enjoyed it so much we did another one the next day. Richard is an excellent pilot and Jolanda is so friendly and helpful. All my E-mails before the trip were answered promptly and informatively. I can highly recommend this trip and after doing one from Queenstown I can honestly say that this was better and a lot easier to get to as Cromwell is not as busy as Queenstown or Wanaka. Jolanda even dropped us back to the motel after the flight. Add this to your "must do list" when in N.Z.

It's been a few weeks now since Richard and Yolanda took Leonie and I helibiking and we are still reminiscing. In looking into this sort of activity other similar services were slow to respond and didn't seem all that interested unless we could orgainse a group of four. Yolanda was quick to respond, answered all our questions and had us in excited anticipation from first contact and right through until we arrived at the hanger and at this point we knew we certainly were not going to be let down. Everything was beyond our expectation. From the super smooth MD600N helicopter, to the guidance, flight commentary, the route, the scenery, lunch and to the bike riding. It's not a trip for the "go big" downhill mtber but perfect for beginner and intermediate XC and Enduro riders. But don't think it's all about the ride, take some time to soak in the environment and if you need to pedal a bit more ask about "the gold fields". The perfect mix of professional and friendly (I highly recommend getting Yolanda to go along as your guide). We would definitely orgainise another trip with Heliview. For now though we are still going over the pictures and talking about the wonderful memories from the day.
