Such a wonderful experience for our group. Myself and my partners 2 daughters surprised my partner for his 60th birthday. We had lunch at Carrick Winery and the helicopter picked us up at the winery! We fly over the Kawarau river, Nevis Valley and Cromwell basin. It was a 20 minute sightseeing flight and was most exhilarating! Was such a fun experiencing that I would highly recommend. The customer service from start to finish was fantastic, accommodating us when we were running late due to late flight arrivals. Do this if you can :)
Dear Judi
Thank you very much for including us in Mark's surprise birthday celebration day. It was a pleasure hosting you all and showcasing our Central Otago backyard to you from the air.
We hope to welcome you on board again soon.
Warm regards,

I flew with Heliview Heli as the Celebrant for a beautiful wedding that they had arranged. The attention to detail was wonderful with a beautiful bottle of Quartz Reef bubbles and delicious platter packed for the excited couple. The flight started with a fabulous scenic tour up the Kawarau Gorge, over the Nevis Valley and up to the Old Women Range where we landed on the snow for the ceremony. Perfect!!
Dear Glennys
Thank you very much for being a part of this magical day and adding your personal touch to the wedding! We wish the lucky couple all the best for their future together.
And let's do it again soon :).

When we booked a Helicopter trip for our parents we had made a mistake with the location but Jolanda was amazing at helping us sort it out. Absolutely great customer service and we will definitely use them again.
Dear Wayne

Absolutely amazing experience. Every part of this trip was a smooth and easy process. Communication before hand was excellent, booking was easy and the trip itself sensational. Friendly people and a yummm got chocolate in the snow with beautiful views. Thank you so much for making our honeymoon that much greater ❤️
Dear Angela and Blayne
Thank you very much for flying with us during your recent honeymoon getaway. It was a pleasure to showcase the Cromwell Basin to you from above and land you in the snow for a hot chocolate at 5500 feet.
We hope to welcome you on board again sometime - maybe for a wine tasting at altitude option? ;)
Warm regards,

Heliview is run by husband-and-wife duo out of Cromwell. It's a great way to spend some time in the afternoon and see the views from a different perspective. We saw more of the vineyards on the way up to the mountain, then followed a different path following the river on the way back. If you're apprehensive about riding a helicopter (it was my husband's first time), don't be. The pilot (Richard) is very professional and you will feel safe. The helicopter was unique compared to others I've ridden on in that it doesn't have a tail rotor.
Just be wary of scheduling things immediately after as the schedule is more of an approximation than an actual time table.
Didn't detract from the experience though.
We had a wonderful afternoon Mt Biking with great views and understanding the local area of Cromwell and it's history. Our group contained different levels of Mt biking experience but Jolanda was a great guide and coach for everyone. I would highly recommend if you are in this area to get in touch with these guys, they offer great flexibility with their tours and are lovely locals!
Dear Jayne and Dave
Thank you so much for spending a lovely Sunday afternoon with us biking in the hills above Cromwell. It was a pleasure meeting you both and telling you a little about the history and beauty of our region with you.
Enjoy the rest of your holiday in Central Otago and we hope to welcome you again some time 😄.
Kind regards,
Jolanda and Richard Foale
