The pilot was experienced and reliable as he guided the helicopter through strong winds. The view on the top of the glacier was amazing! My family of 5 thoroughly enjoyed the views of Queensland through the 50 minute ride.

Jason was a very competent and confident pilot. We weren't able to land high on the glacier because of the winds, but the spot he chose to land was excellent. We were very happy with the experience, as were the American couple who shared our flight. The scenery was greatly varied and the whole flight enjoyable.

The scenery during our helicopter flight landing on the Jura Glacier was simply breathtaking. Callum our pilot pointed out local attractions along the way. His landing on the virgin snow was smooth and confident. We witnessed the very rugged landscape up close and got good value for our money. We were picked up from our accommodation and returned as part of the deal. All went like clockwork and our souvenir photo now sits prominently in our living room as a reminder of a truly remarkable experience.

We'd previously been on a helicopter over the Franz Josef glacier but this time we thought we'd try one of the Queenstown flights - we opted for the 50min ride. Dave our pilot was very friendly and informative. It was our son's first ride in a helicopter and he got to sit in front with his grandmoth

When all other companies were offering 8 mins and 3 mins, your flight was 50 mins and it was extremely good value for money. The pilot was knowledgeable and friendly but the main thing is the flight didnt feel like it was over too quickly. It was a memorable experience. Loved every minute of it.
