Amazing Experience

We booked a early morning senic flight but due to the weather it was postponed till the afternoon. The Helicopter Line were great throughout by notifying us early and rebooking us on the later flight. That gave us ample time to replan and visit nearby Mt Cook Visitor center and surrounds. The wait for the flight was well worth it! Highlight of our trip.

A very good experience.

The staff are very friendly, the captain is very handsome, and there are Chinese-speaking clerks.

Perfect… service was good, very easy to check in and gem of whole activity was pilot. He explained history with current situation of snow mountains and glaciers. Took photos and gave enough time on mountain. Recommend
