My wife and I recently did the 10 minute scenic flight from the wharf to Island Bay and back over the city. Fantastic, although short it allowed us enough time to do other activities. It was her first time in a helicopter and we were fortunate enough to be seated in the front with a panoramic view. She ooh'd and aah'd away loving every minute. The pilot Adam(?) Was obviously very proud of his city and gave a great running commentary. I highly recommend this trip.

What an amazing experience!
I took my 3 year old nephew on the South Coast trip, and we both loved it.
The team are really helpful with the booking, the checkin process is very simple and the pilot was great.
The helicopter itself was really nice, comfortable and a smooth ride.
Being a Wellingtonian it was such a cool experience to see it all from above.
Thank you so much to the team, especially our pilot as he made my nephew feel very safe and special.
Highly recommend and I am sure I'll be back!

It was a good experience because Wellington is gorgeous not because their service. The experience with their staff was very bad. I got told people who pay full price are given a choice of seat (they had given me a deal). Then when I ended up paying full for my flight I asked for that choice and I got treated very badly by one of their staff who raised his voice and started an argument. He started changing rule i.e., couples get a choice and you need to hire entire helicopter etc. This while it's wrong, could have been told nicely and without being rude. This ruined my experience. I feel differentiated. Yes they gave me a seat of choice because some of their customers didn't turn up (of course) but by then this had ruined my experience. There is no other helicopter service in Wellington so unless you really want to go for a ride, I would suggest avoiding. (@Business owner , you can verify this entire conversation on your webcams)

My husband and I are in Wellington for a long weekend. Dai took us out and allowed us to see parts of New Zealand we would not have seen from the ground. He was a great tour guide who knew a lot about the local area. Highly recommend this tour.

Hi . the day was overcast. windy and for a while I thought that our flight may have been cancelled . 6 people on board plus the experienced pilot and away we went . yes a few bumps here and there but done a great city flight tour. We landed and at this point the pilot discovered that our flight was a bay scenic flight . What a bonus for us with a lift off and the bay flight tour . Thanking you so much for the experience .

Took a 15 minute flight around Wellington as a family group. Great focus on safety and ensuring we had a comfortable flight. What a great vantage point over Wellington. A really special trip.

This was my first trip in a helicopter. The trip was tailored for our needs with an amazing flight across the bay to Wharekauhau Country Lodge for a glass of wine and lunch and back. Alyssa the pilot was very reassuring and we had every confidence in her.

I highly recommend getting in touch with Wellington Helicopters for any commercial lifting needs. The staff were thoroughly professional and showed a very high level of skill and safety planning. Very impressive level of care and precision from the highly capable air and ground crew. The helicopter was also fantastic value for money given the nature of our job and alternatives available to us. It gave us a greatly increased (ten fold) carrying capacity (in dollars per tonne) compared to other methods we investigated, and was also a major time saver.

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

Hi Ed.
I'm disappointed to hear that the flight did not meet your expectations.
