Queenstown Helicopter Tour: Glacier Landing And Scenic Views

Absolutely amazing experience with Heliworks. The 50-minute glacier landing flight was the highlight of our trip. The scenery was absolutely breathtaking, and seeing the glaciers from the air was something truly special. Landing on the glacier was an unforgettable experience that we’ll remember for a lifetime. The pilot was fantastic, and everything was professionally organised from start to finish. Highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Queenstown. An absolute must-do! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

This is my first helicopter ride and as we flew, the pilot talked about where all the mountains and lakes are located. This is one of best memories I have with New Zealand.

Awesome experience. Would do again in a heartbeat. Landing on the snow was the highlight of the trip. The pilot was super friendly and knowledgeable. Views were amazing.

Wow!! The most spectacular adventure. Scenery was breathtaking and our pilot was amazing. What a job. All the staff were curtious and helpful. Want to do it again. So excited.

OMG what a wonderful time. Can't speak highly enough of everyone here who was so warm and friendly and the experience was 2000% brilliant. If you can do the trip - do. Its not cheap but it is totally memorable and one of the best experiences a person can have Lovely friendly pick up from the hotel and ride to the airport. Warmly greeted by staff, weighted in and then to room to wait and watch briefing video. Chris our pilot was brill, made sure we were all safely strapped in, headphones attached and whisked us off for some amazing views and insightful commentary. We had a day with lovely blue skies and minimal wind (we changed from the cloudy/windy day prior)... I can't stop gushing about the experience The sights were incredible such a different perspective of an amazing place. The glacier landing is fabulous, the silence is just momentous, as you are surrounded by beautiful snowy mountains... you don't know where to look as its just jaw dropping impressive everywhere. The perspective of glaciers and crevices from above and just the awe of it can't be beaten. Chris was so knowledgeable and adding insights and local history without being too chatty (so you had time to appreciate what was before you), he was warm, friendly answered questions and made sure everyone had fun. Totally recommend

Such an amazing experience, could not recommend highly enough

Wow doesn’t even come close. From booking to pickup to arrival at Heliworks everyone hit the spot. Friendliness and so welcoming. Bill was our pilot he was friendly and helpful and full of local knowledge. Our booking agent was so spot on with which day to book. We wanted a particular day she was like no it won’t be good to fly go on the morning you fly out it is meant to be perfect and I can say she was spot on. Lina from discover Queenstown you nailed it and so did Heliworks Queenstown. Thankyou a very special morning. Also the driver who picked up us was so nice and the ladies on reception so so nice. Can’t recommend everyone enough. It’s a must.

Spend the money, take the 50 minute flight. Best money spent, so worth it. Would certainly do it again. Thank you so much

A great adventure to tick off the bucket list. Had Craig take the family over Skippers and land on a glacier near Mt Tyndall. Was a fantastic experience that I highly recommend.

Sadly the glacier express wasn’t possible but we were switched into the Earnslaw Burn trip with two landings. I can sincerely say there’s no way the glacier express would have been better. It was the most incredible place I’ve ever seen and I feel so fortunate!

Wha a fabulous experience. The whole process was seamless and professional. Duncan our pilot was fantastic and contributed significantly to the experience. Our original flight got cancelled due to weather but we we keep informed, the communication was great from the admin team thanks Angel. The flight we we're offered as the alternative was better than we originally book. Very unexpected but greatly appreciated. Highly recommend them

This helicopter flight was a one in a lifetime experience that exceeded all expectations! It offers a unique perspective of NZ natural beauty that is hard to replicate! Milford Sounds Explore is an absolute must! Thank you Duncan our pilot for an unforgettable experience!

Great trip with an awesome pilot very professional and informative

Wasn’t able to go on the glacier tour because of weather but was able to go on the Earnslaw Burn tour and it was amazing. Great pilot and staff. An experience of a lifetime.

We had an amazing experience. The day before our scheduled flight, we called due to windy conditions in the forecast, and the team were incredibly accommodating, arranging a last-minute alternative flight for us. That level of flexibility and customer service was greatly appreciated. The flight from Queenstown to Milford Sound, including a glacier landing, was absolutely incredible and genuinely felt like a once-in-a-lifetime experience (one I’d happily do again). All staff were professional, friendly, and easy to deal with. The pilot was excellent—knowledgeable, calm, and made us feel comfortable throughout the flight. Highly recommend Heliworks to anyone considering a helicopter experience in the region.

This was our first activity on our first day in Queenstown. Fantastic opera from registration, orientation, flight and closing. A most excellent experience made all the better by our pilot/ guide Scottie….. what they’re pay you Scottie…. It’s not enough 🤣 thank you for making this a great experience.

The team at Heliworks were fantastic, including the driver pick up from Heritage hotel. The flight with pilot Callum lasted 50 mins and included two landings, one on snow. An unforgettable, breathtaking experience with stunning views of Queenstown, valleys and snow capped mountains. It left us speechless. Worth every dollar, you won't be disappointed- with memories for life !
