It was the first time for me and my husband flying in a helicopter, and it was absolutely unforgettable. We loved every moment of the flight everything was perfect, from the beautiful weather to the stunning views over Wellington city and the coastline. The experience was smooth, exciting, and truly special.
We enjoyed it so much. Thank you for an amazing ride!

First time in a Helicopter and it didn't dissapoint. So cool to see Wellington city from 3000ft.
Our pilot was friendly, kind and very knowledgeable. We felt we were in safe hands. Totally worth the money. Great experience.
