Loved the Mountains High scenic flight, with our pilot Gillie. Views were amazing, the snow/glacier landing was brilliant & just being up in the mountains was incredible. Highly recommend this to anyone

We enjoyed a flight into Mount Cook region and had the luck that Mark was our pilot. He explained us the route and the mountains. A wonderful and passionate pilot! Thank you very much for such a wonderful tour! Highly recommended.

The whole set up is just great and they really look after the guest from start to finish. They make it easy to understand the individual options, have a laugh you overcome any potential tension (first time helicopter flight ...), the little cafe has nice food, drinks and ice cream with a sunny terrace to wait while watching other groups fly in and out. Of course there is the spectacular scenery from high above and the flight itself is amazing. What makes it memorable is the team and most noteworthy Liam who is such a gentle, knowledgeable and funny guy - thank you. All the best for you guys.
