Hubby and I had such an amazing time with pilot Danny who commentated the entire trip as we flew overtop of QT and took photos of us at the Alpine landing - we did the Pilot’s choice special at $150 per person and thought this was very reasonable for an approx. 30 min trip. Other companies seemed to be a bit more expensive for a similar journey. We loved this experience and would recommend.

We booked this on the spur of the moment as we spotted a $150pp offer and it was well worth the money. We had Charlotte as our pilot and she was amazing, taking us smoothly up to Coronet Peak and landed on the snow. We had enough time on the mountain to take a few photos and enjoy the view. This is a must do whilst in Queenstown as the views are breathtaking from the air and such a smooth flight.

I'm not really planning to ride a heli but since I have a free day on my trip I decided to book this last minute, which is the best decision I made. First time in Queenstown, first time to ride a heli, first time to see and walk in a fresh snow, and first time to be on top of the mountain. It wasn't on my bucket list but all thanks to Helicopter Line for giving me an unforgettable experience. I did the 20mins Pilot's Choice ride, it might sound like a quick ride but that 20mins is more than enough for us to be amazed. To all future travelers don't worry if the weather isn't that great on the day as they can make arrangements for you and give you options also they will have a weather check before flying to make sure everyone is safe and will have a great experience flying.

We visited as a family with a grown up son to do the 50 minute trip including landing in the mountains in March 2020.

Staff were all brilliant and helped calm down my partner who was beyond nervous prior and during the flight.

Can’t remember the pilots name but she was very informative.

This although not cheap is one of the best things I have ever done on holiday and would not hesitate to recommend.

Today at 85 I crossed something off my bucket list. The whole helicopter experience was supurb from the welcome at reception to farewells at the end. We had close up views of parts of Fiordland National Park with it's snowcovered mountains and valleys. Highlights were landing by Lake Erskine and also on a glacier and walking on the snow. Pilot Jono was an ideal friendly guide assisting as needed and providing an informative cheerful commentary.

My wife and I did a helicopter flight from Queenstown airport. Greg picked us up from our hotel. At there base we did the safety protocol and then boarded our helicopter. Colleen was our friendly pilot. She flew us up to Ben Lomond peak where she landed on a small flat area. After taking photos and admiring the views we were flown back to the airport. Greg then returned us back to our hotel.

A really friendly professional business providing an excellent service at a great price.

We were very excited about our 20 minute helicopter experience with the Helicopter Line and they didn't disappoint! Communication was really easy, we phoned an hour before our flight to check everything was in order. When we arrived, there was plenty of free parking and the staff were all friendly and professional - they were excited for us to be going on our flight as it was such a beautiful day and the day before had been terrible weather - wise. We felt really welcomed and valued.
The waiting area was really nice.
We were given a safety briefing, and there was a chance for a last minute trip to the bathroom. There are free lockers available for use for your extra bits and pieces as well. Then it was time to fly!
Our pilot was Scotty and he was very friendly and put me at ease as I was a bit nervous! I always felt safe though, he was thorough in telling us what to do and how to use the headsets etc.
The flight itself was 5 minutes up to the mountain and was amazing!
We did the alpine landing which was just incredible. Scotty helped us out of the copter onto the snow and then spent time taking photos of everyone.
The view was absolutely breathtaking!
We had approx 10 minutes on the mountain and then back to the copter for the flight back to Queenstown. An absolute highlight and must do if you're in Queenstown. Just pray for good weather!

What an experience! Highly recommend to anyone coming to Queenstown. Booking was easy, safety briefing was thorough but relatively quick and our pilot Gerrard was great and very knowledgeable. The views were amazing, we landed on the remarkables and got great photos and snow! The only way to properly see Queenstown. Worth doing and worth the cost!

Grand Circle – Free upgrade from Queenstown Panorama flight. As were in Queenstown in the early days of level 1 we were upgraded to this flight. It included a snow landing which would have to be the highlight of our trip. The pilot, whose names escapes me, was very professional, knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. It's not a cheap trip but it's cheaper than traveling overseas. Highly recommended.

We did the last flight of the day and both absolutely loved it. Booking was easy, safety briefings easy to follow and the flight was the most stunning exhilarating experience. Our pilot was so accomodating and we loved the commentary on Queenstown landmarks. Finally landing on the top of the Remarkables to sip bubblies and take in the stunning view, you just cannot see Queenstown from anywhere better! This was an experience of a lifetime and one we will never forget.
