Fantastic! Our pilot, Anthony, was pleasant and professional. His verbal commentary told us about the sites as we were flying over them. At landings, he was always willing to take her pictures and set us up for great shots looking at the scenery. I highly recommend this trip!! definitely a bucket list item!

Amazing experience, beautiful scenic flying, glacier lakes from above were a highlight.

Thank you so much for your review! We’re thrilled you enjoyed your scenic Milford Sound flight! It truly is some of the most breathtaking scenery imaginable. We’re so pleased your pilot made the experience both fun and safe while showing you such incredible locations. Kind regards, the GSLH team.
A big shout out to the crew at Glacier Southern Lakes Helicopters. They made our flight exceptional. We have flown in many helicopters (military and commercial). The Airbus that Luke maneuvered expertly over mountaintops, ridges, the Sound, valleys, rivers, glaciers, and lakes was superb. We were well cared for providing us opportunities to get out and explore periodically throughout the flight. The team picked us up and dropped us off at our hotel in Queenstown. This is the most spectacular scenic flight tour ever.
Thank you for such a thoughtful and generous review! We’re honoured to hear this flight was the highlight of your trip, especially given your extensive helicopter experience. Luke and the wider team take great pride in delivering a premium, well-paced experience, and it’s wonderful to know you felt well cared for throughout the journey. We’re also pleased the hotel transfers added to the seamless nature of your day. Thank you for choosing to fly with us. Kind regards, the GSLH team.
The experience was amazing, highlight of our trip. The pilot was amazing and landing on the glacier was fantastic. Highly recommend for anyone considering doing this.
Hi Megan, We’re so glad the flight was a highlight of your trip! Landing on the glacier is always a special moment, and we’re thrilled you had such an amazing experience. Thanks for recommending us! Kind regards, The GSLH team
Fantastic trip around Milford Sound with Steve. Picked up at Blanket Bay, then 3 landings. Steve was an outstanding pilot, and also proved to be an excellent photographer. We got all the iconic shots!
Hi Julie, So glad you had such an amazing trip over Milford Sound! Steve will be thrilled to hear you enjoyed the landings and the photos. Sounds like the perfect way to capture those iconic views. We hope to fly with you again on your next visit to Queenstown! Kind regards, The GSLH team
Best experiences ever & mainly because we had an incredible operator Jeremy! Start to finish was epic. Staff all sooooo nice. We saw rain was forecasted so we called to see if we could switch to the next day and they were so accommodating! It was a good decision too because the next day was perfect! Pick up and drop off was flawless! Highly recommended. Thank you for a moment we’ll remember forever!!

It's great that the weather turned out perfect for your flight! We truly appreciate your kind words and recommendation. Thank you for choosing us, and we’re so happy to have been part of a moment you'll remember forever! Kind regards, Tegan
We "splurged" on the 2hr tour with starting point in Queenstown. We are so happy that we did this. Every interaction was professional and friendly. The tour brought memories for a lifetime with my Dad. It is often the first thing we talk about when people ask about our 2 weeks in NZ. Our whole trip was wonderful, but this stood out as a highlight. 2 hours was the right amount of time, and the start in QT allowed us to have the rest of the day for other activities. Luke was a perfect pilot and tour guide.
Hi 546nielsc, Thank you so much for your amazing review! We’re thrilled to hear that the flight was such a memorable experience for you and your Dad. It’s wonderful to know that it stood out as a highlight of your trip and that Pilot Luke helped make the experience even more special. We’re so glad you chose to splurge on this adventure and that it created lasting memories. We hope the rest of your trip was just as memorable and you both had a safe journey home! Kind regards, Tegan
