I took my parents to this heli fly as part of their first road trip in NZ. It didn’t disappoint us! The views above Hokitika Gorge towards the mountain ranges are stunning throughout the whole flight. Matt is an experienced pilot with humour and a great cameraman! Thank you for the ride!

Wonderful trip.

Highly recommend this tour! Matt was brilliant, both as a pilot and as guide on our tour. Felt very safe both up in the air and the preperations before take-off. The tour itself was amazing, we learned a lot about the area and the environment. We came very up-close to the glacier and the mountines, and liked a lot that the tour included a photo-stop at one of the glaciers. Big thanks to Matt!
