An opportunity with tremendous views of the area as well as getting an opportunity to sit on a bridge on a mountaintop and enjoy the view
Hi there, thank you for your feedback! We’re so pleased you enjoyed the views and the opportunity to step out and take it all in—that moment on the mountaintop is something pretty special. Kind regards, the GSLH team.
Very cool. The view was breathtaking. Worth every penny. Very cold. Dress warm. Everyone on the staff was very professional

An exceptional experience... from both the amazing and unforgettable scenery, to our very informative and amazing pilot Steve.. a wealth of knowledge and generally a good bloke!

Went in Jan 26, cold, no snow, but beautiful. My partner and I did a last minute purchase for the following morning at 8am (the night before) which was, I admit, a little sketchy. Unfortunately due to weather (or numbers) the flight was not able to go ahead, however the company managed to sort us out for the Saturday which was showing as full. It turned out to be amazing, Andrew the pilot was knowledgeable, friendly and knows how to snap a great photo. The company was safe, professional, clean and parking was easy. I was a little skeptical about doing a touristy type flight and spending the money however I absolutely loved it and in hindsight and very glad I did it. The helicopter and pilot were amazing and it’s an experience that if you can, you should do. Particularly if it’s snowing. Definitely would do it again.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! It really does help a small business like us out. Seeing Queenstown from the air is truly spectacular and we're glad you enjoyed it! Thanks again for choosing to fly with us and we hope to see back again for another flight on your next visit to Queenstown. Kind regards, the GSLH team.
What a fun way to view the mountains & scenery of Queenstown. The company made us feel safe & comfortable.
Thank you so much for your review! Safety is our number 1 priority so it's great to hear it made a difference for you. Thanks for flying with us and we hope to see you return for another on your next visit to Queenstown! Kind regards, the GSLH Team.
The original flight was cancelled due to weather but the crew were so kind and immediate booked us on another day.
Thank you for your review Karl! Our team will be happy to hear they helped get your flight over the line and that you enjoyed the experience. Thanks again for choosing to fly with us! Kind regards, the GSLH team.
We had a wonderful flight! Our pilot was very safety conscious but still made it a light-hearted, fun time. He found a mountain peak that still had snow on it and our Florida raised kids were over the moon to be able to throw snowballs! Our pilot caught some great pictures of our family and we were so grateful for the experience, as well as his great documentation of the experience. Thank you!
Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We’re thrilled to hear your family had such a memorable flight and that your kids got to enjoy some real alpine snow. It’s wonderful to hear your pilot struck the perfect balance between safety and fun, and that the photos helped capture those special moments. We truly appreciate your kind words and hope to welcome your family back to Queenstown again one day. Kind regards, The GSLH Team
Didn't quite last 30mins. Ended in about 20- 25mins. That's my only complaint. Since we pay for 30mins, I think it should last for that time.
Thank you for your feedback, Chalani. We're pleased to hear you enjoyed the flight, though we’re sorry it felt shorter than expected. We’ve passed your comments on to our operations team as we always want to ensure our experiences meet the duration advertised. We appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts and hope we can welcome you back again. Kind regards, the GSLH team
Absolutely amazing! The views were breathtaking and having the opportunity to land on a snow covered mountain was a dream come true. Our pilot was friendly and very thorough in his explanations and knowledge of what we were seeing. He helped take pictures and definitely ensured our safety. It’s a tight squeeze for seating, so you need to like your neighbor. Take off and landings were very smooth. I highly recommend this trip!
Hi Debra, Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear you had such an amazing time and that landing on the snow was a dream come true. It’s great to know your pilot made the experience enjoyable, informative, and safe - and helped capture some special memories along the way! We really appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back for another adventure soon. Kind regards, Tegan
