We had the most amazing time in Milford with Richard as our pilot. Took the time to get to know us and point out the awesome spots along the way. The weather was perfect, we felt incredibly safe, and most of all looked after. You have to give this a go! Well worth the money and was an incredible way to celebrate our wedding.

We had the extreme pleasure of having Pete as our pilot. He was very thorough, shared so much about about the geography and history of the area, and was literally the best helicopter pilot I've ever experienced (over 40 yrs he said!!). Not only was he knowledgeable, but I could feel how passionate he is about his job and how much he loves and respects the land and the guests that visit. This one is for the books!! You will NOT regret it!
Kia ora, Thank you for your kind review. We’re thrilled you had a memorable flight and that Pete’s enthusiasm and skill made it extra special. It truly means a lot to us that the experience left a lasting impression. Ngā mihi nui, The Helicopter Line
We had an absolute blast on this trip. At first we thought the trip was going to be cancelled due to the weather, but last minute the weather cleared up some and we were able to go. The pilot was awesome and very knowledgeable about the entire area and its history. The cruise was beyond perfect with Sterners that will leave you speechless. On the flight back we were able to la d on top of a mountain for some good views and even better pictures. 10/10 would recommend!

So worth the money. Bill the helicopter pilot gave a great ride and commentary with an Alipine landing by Erskine Lake as its starting to freeze and a fly over a glacier. The boat ride also had great commentary with up close waterfall section. Secenery was breathtaking for both. Highly recommend

Awesome flight to Milford Sound and back. The mountains covered with snow were amazing. Bill the pilot was so professional and gave a great commentary. I felt I was in safe hands. The cruise at Milford too well worth it with plenty of waterfalls. An experience which will live in my memory forever.

What a terrific opportunity. The helicopter ride was incredible. I felt safe and enjoyed every minute. We had one short alpine landing which allowed us to see a glacier close up and then took the 2 hour Milford Sound Cruise. Afterwards, the same pilot returned us to Auckland. I highly recommend doing this!
