Me and my son 15years old, absolutely loved it. The pilot Andy was amazing at explaining all the different venues/places belows. He was very friendly. The guy who explained all the safety guides was very friendly too. Took a photo of us in front of helicopter.

We had family from WA visiting and enjoyed showing them our beautiful city. They booked the 2.30pm 15 minute flight the night prior. Paid for and confirmed. Day of flight, 4/3/19, they went to check in early and were told a flight had just left for the Wairarapa. They may get a flight at 3.30 but they wouldn't guarantee it. (When booking there was only an 11.30 and the 2.30). Very bad attitude from staff, couldn't care less. Family leaving next day so refund given. What a disgrace!

Our 15 min flight was actually 11 minutes. Nearly $400 for 2 of us felt like a lot of money for such a quick trip. We were seated on the wrong side of the helicopter to get the best views and if you are not in a window seat the experience is rather disappointing. I thought the flight might go round the bay one way and then back the other way so all of us could see the view. But we didn’t.
This was a trip to celebrate a birthday and left us rather deflated
