Awesome adventure - We took a flight up to view Mt Cook on a perfect day in such a picturesque area of NZ. Having never flown in a helicopter I was very anxious. Wow! what an awesome experience, if you ever get the opportunity totally jump aboard. Thanks to The Helicopter Line who made me feel comfortable & safe with their experienced staff & professionalism.

Once in a lifetime experience - This was amazing, a once in a lifetime experience. Our pilot Mike was excellent, he provided us with an excellent commentary and information during our flight. Landing on the glacier was incredible. It was well organised and very professional with regular email communication about the flight and checking in process etc and safety briefing before our flight. A must do trip when in New Zealand.

Absolutely awesome - It was amazing. Our pilot was great and very informative. I get travel sickness and was worried how rough the flight would be but I found it to be very smooth and didn’t feel sick at all. Seeing the glaciers and then landing and walking on them was awesome.
