Come over from the day from Queenstown for an amazing Heli-Bike Trip with Yolanda and Richard. They were very professional and very friendly throughout the whole trip. We got dropped at the top of the mountain range with huge views and private trip. We took a heaps of photos on the way down, enjoyed the included packed lunch and gladly welcomed a beer at the Bannokburn Pub at the finish! A really cool day out, and glad to have a bit of a scenic flight and commentary of Cromwell on the way up. Cheers guys, will be back

We were so delighted with Jolanda and Richard for the smooth & exhilarating flight for myself and my family of 5 on the 8 Dec 2016. We were initially worried over the bad weather we encountered days before the planned flight but Jolanda was able to advise us a good schedule for a clear flight. If you are planning for helicopter ride over the mountains, do make it a point to check out Heliview and Jolanda, who's ever so friendly, will make sure you'll have a good flight. Highly recommended.

Thanks to Jolanda our booking process was smooth and seamless. We booked the Heli dine package which was superb. The property was easy to find and we were welcomed by Jolanda. After loading us into the chopper Richard took over, he was extremely knowledgeable and very professional. Views were unforgettable and the landing ( whilst cold) was great. We were dropped to Mount Difficulty for lunch and when we had finished Jolanda picked us up and dropped us back to the our car. We also purchased the go pro footage and photos.
The service from booking to departure cannot be faulted and the price is excellent. Would go again when back in NZ and have recommended to many.
Thank you for a great start to our NZ holiday!

What an amazing experience for a really decent price. Even with the video added it was a good price BUT I really really do disagree with the fact that there is a video of other people on the stick. I guess they just use one for everyone but that's not okay. Definitly a bummer when i found out.

Hi Dennis

Thank you for taking the time to give us a review. We really appreciate your feedback but are confused about your comment about the video.

We record each flight with a GoPro and then offer that footage for sale after the flight so passengers can relive the experience and show friends and relatives. The footage is of the landscape we fly over and is plugged into the intercom so you can hear Richard's commentary about the features you fly over. There is no internal footage so no people can be seen.

We do not keep a 'master video file' but copy each individual flight's footage as flight routes can vary a little due to weather considerations. If you buy the video, it is of your flight, not someone else's.

Feel free to email us at info@heliview.co.nz if you wish to discuss this further :).

We trust you enjoyed the rest of your holiday in New Zealand and had a safe trip back home to the Netherlands.

Kind regards,

Jolanda and Richard Foale
