- 772donnyv00Mountain Top EngagementA massive thank you to Gareth and Dave from OTP! Yesterday I got engaged on the Remarkable mountain and they both did such a great job of helping me organise the occasion. Very professional team and helpful team, I highly recommend. A big 5 star thank you!!
- adyruss00What a Surprise!This was such an epic time. Myself and a friend were surprised with this as a gift from our wives. The pilot and staff were fantastic and the weather was superb. We had an unbelievable time and would do it again in a heartbeat!
- John H00A Perfect DayWe were most excited to do this experience for our honeymoon in Queenstown and it did not disappoint. It was both of our first times flying in a helicopter and our pilot & guide, Ben, put us at ease immediately with his sharp sense of humor and many years of experience flying in the area. The views of the mountains, fjords, and glaciers were all breathtaking, but we’ll remember this experience for all the laughs and fun times throughout the day. Our highest compliments to Ben - do not leave Queenstown without booking this tour!
- rebeccamcneill00AMAZING!AMAZING! We done the Milford Sound chopper tour and ferry ride. Renee was an awesome tour guide for the day. Full of great information and a very good pilot. Highly reccomwnd.
- cdleof00Absolute heavenWe had a private tour of Milford Sound, my husband and I, and we made both an alpine and a glacier landing….both nothing short of spectacular! Pristine snow. Not a footprint in sight. Incredible. René was an extraordinary heli pilot, and a delightful person to be with. I never felt nervous, felt relaxed from the moment we lifted off the pad and I felt safe the entire time in his competent hands. It was my husband’s birthday so René surprised us by popping bottle of champagne as we walked in the snow on one of the landings to celebrate. The mountains were majestic and the tour was one of the most exquisitely beautiful and amazing experiences we’ve ever had.
- kevinmS5053GI00Over the top bucket list item checked offWhat a bucket list activity to fly over the glaciers, land on the mountain and land on the beach outside Milford Sound. Choppy was an amazing pilot and very knowledgeable. Highly recommend it!
- salomep65600Enjoyed every moment on top of the mountain, and the pilot was awesomeIt was a surprise gift for the 50th birthday of my partner. He enjoyed every moment with our daughter, started from the helicopter ride, the amazing views from top of the mountain, golf and the champagne. The pilot was awesome and we were grateful for the champagne provided to celebrate his birthday on top of the mountain. So, thank you so much 🙏🏽
- Chcannon300A must-do experience on your trip to New Zealand!Wow! What an incredible experience and well worth it if you’re visiting the Queensland area in NZ. Choppy was our pilot (and is the business owner) — Shes runs a wonderful company and provides a beautiful, exciting, and safe experiences for visitors to enjoy. The trip helped give us a wonderful understanding of and appreciation for this special place. So so glad we did this excursion! Definitely a major trip highlight!
- jocyszab00Beautiful experienceAmazing experience, the pilot was very nice and explain everything around. All the staff was very nice. The place that we land was so beautiful.
- 473skyb00Snow angels on top of the worldThere was an issue causing our originally scheduled tour to possibly be cancelled, the staff at over the top worked to get us coordinated with another group later in the same day so we got the flights in. They were able to upgrade us and make it a truly memorable and amazing experience. From snow angels and snowball fights on top of the world to a beach landing and hunting for green stone along the edge of the world they truly delivered a once in a lifetime experience for our family. We couldn’t be more pleased and Davie was great. Truly knowledgeable and entertaining all the way out and back. Thank you for the great memories and experiences.
- Theerdoc100ExcellentBen was the pilot and he gave us over the top experience. Very attentive and informative with great attention to our safety
- TravSSanDiego00Fantastic Experience!Fantastic experience! OTT created a completely custom experience for us including golf and site-seeing. Excellent company and a great pilot - would definitely use again!
- Lynn O00Beyond Words!What an amazing and unforgettable experience …I still can’t believe it! Our pilot (Steve) was impeccable both in his flying skills, knowledge, and customer service!! He was fun and interesting and took us to places I would have never thought possible. The variety of scenery and diversity of terrain, as well as, his skill and talent in landing in the many different environments was impressive. We also appreciated the young man in the office (sorry…forgot his name) that greeted us and went over procedures and the areas that we would cover. He was friendly and very professional. An all around memorable and exciting day! Very highly recommend …a definite bucket list trip!!
- EJT10247870400Fantastic trip IThis was awesome. Choppy - CEO and pilot -was incredible. We saw some insane stuff and had a terrific time. Cannot think of coming back to Queenstown and not doing this again. Simply amazing!
- allies98500One of the coolest things I've ever done!One of the highlights of our time in NZ, would 100% recommend! We had booked the Queenstown Memories trip for a shared helicopter but unfortunately there were not enough people for it to go ahead but they were super accommodating and we upgraded to a private Remarkables tour that same morning which I thought was a bit extravagant but it was definitely worth it, one of the coolest things I've ever done! Our pilot was super friendly and knowledgable and though it was just a short helicopter ride the experience was so fun and the views from where we landed were just insane.

INCREDIBLE! To be taken to areas that are so untouched is just breathtaking. Pilot Michael was so knowledgeable on the areas we went and made everyone feel so safe. Experience from as soon as you check in is 5*. Would do this a million times over!

Would have to say this was the highlight of our Queenstown trip. Right from the snow landing to the delicious BBQ lunch and little exploration of the grounds at the high country stone cottage. James is a great pilot and tour guide and really made the trip. Nothing was an issue. The entire experience was very professional and I would totally recommend Over the Top helicopter tours if you are looking to do something special.

Our pilot Michael was exceptional. He shared alot of knowledge with us & was not in a hurry to get back, therefore we had extra time. We felt in completely good hands & Michael was so relaxed. You could tell he loved what he does. So amazing landing in the snow & incredible views. We were so lucky as the morning couldnt of been better. This was absolutely the highlight of our trip & a must do. We can definitely highly recommend "Over the top Helicoptors"

First class service from the first phone call to the actual flight from OTT.
Thanks to Pedro, Steve & pilot Renee - they made a fabulous experience even better.
We were lucky to land in pristine snow after a fresh snowfall and our pilot ensured we landed in the best possible spot - it was breathtaking with lots of photo opportunities and plenty of time allowed to take in the magical scenery.
Would definitely recommend this company and look forward to booking the Milford Sound experience when we are next in Queenstown.

This was the highlight of our visit to Queenstown. From the moment we arrived and met Katie at reception to taking off with our pilot Michael, we felt safe....and excited. The climb up over the ridge to land on the top in the snow was exhilarating. The view from the ridge overlooking Queenstown was spectacular and taking off to head back was even more breathtaking. Michael was full of great information and we were still buzzing about our flight hours afterwards. A must do in Queenstown

The weather did not allow our flight to take off first thing but the team worked around our day to make our flight happen, they kept us in the loop by letting us know when they would call and keeping to that time.
The exoerience itself was fantastic, great flight, awesome views and a Steve landed us in snow with a bit of sun so we were comfortable. He was great with giving us info of the area and keeoing our son safe as well.

Cannot recommend this company enough. Various package options given. We picked to have the helicopter to ourselves as we were 4 already. Everything was explained in detail. On the day we received a call (which I missed) followed by a text to let us know weather was good for the flight & what time we should show for check in. Once there welcomed by Pedro who checked us in, explained how the trip would go. Then our pilot showed explained where we would go on the map did a quick safety briefing and we were off. The helicopter was spacious & beautifully maintained. Once we were buckled in we were off. Seven minutes later we landed in an untouched location with fresh snow. Nothing can describe the experience. The pilot took so many photos for us and explained where we were and answered all our questions. Definitely great value for money & would recommend for a special once in a lifetime experience.

Our party of five (including one with mobility issues) had an amazing flight this morning.
We had updates over the preceding days regarding the weather and where we would be flying and always felt that OTT were thinking of us.
The flight itself was on a beautiful day around the mountains surrounding Queenstown. Highlights were every single part of the experience. René catered for all of our requirements (mobility issues, first time flyers and some scared of heights)!

An experience of a lifetime. Our Pilot Steve made everyone feel comfortable and excited. The views were stunning and the information during the flight so great. Landing on the snow and getting out was the icing on the cake. A perfect day.
