Awesome experience!
We had an amazing time flying with Heliview! The pilot is very experienced and knowledgeable, and the flight was super pleasant. The views from above are just stunning, the best way to see all the beauty of the South Island. Just pack a jacket for the alpine landing, it's always quite chilly on the top, even in the middle of the summer. Highly recommend this experience!
