Unreal experience!! I did the Fiordland Finest and it was 100% worth it! 2.5h flight over the Fiordland national parc, An experience I'll remember my whole life! I had to sit on the copilote seat and everyone rotates every landing so you're sure to have a window view 👌. 11/10 would definitely recommend!
Thank you for the incredible 11/10 review! We are so glad the Fiordland Finest was an experience you'll remember forever, and that you enjoyed the views from all over the helicopter! We appreciate the recommendation and look forward to welcoming you back to Heliworks in the future!
In June 2025, my husband and I went with Heliworks in the most beautiful experience. We went to the top of snowy mountains! We could get off the helicopter and look around which seemed to be a different world because we were above the clouds. What a wonderful experience! Scotty was our pilot and we were super happy with him. He is a great guy and a great experienced pilot, which made our flight amazing. I highly recommend Heliworks!
Thank you so much for your amazing review! We’re thrilled to hear you had such a memorable experience exploring the snowy peaks above the clouds — it truly is like stepping into another world. We’ll make sure to pass your kind words on to Scotty; he’ll be delighted to know he made your flight so special. We really appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back for another incredible adventure in the future!
