This is an experience we will never forget. The views were spectacular and our pilot, Matt was very informative and helpful...as well as being incredbly safe!!
We landed on the Tyndall glacier and stayed for about 10-15 minutes. Amazing experience!
The landing at Earnslaw Burn was a must-do! So stunning I cried!!!💙🤷♀️
Don't leave NZ without adding this to your trip! Best $$ I have ever spent💙

Stunning views!
This tour was amazing! The conditions on our tour date were very windy, so the operator contacted us to move our tour earlier in the day. We got a bonus stop for our efforts! Beautiful flight over the Dart River and up onto a glacier. Touched down and were able to get out and walk around in the snow and admire the stunning views. Then flew down into a valley with tons of water fall. Hung out there a bit, then back. Our pilot was great with information and answering questions. He rotated the seating on the different legs so everyone got a chance to ride up front with the best view. What an incredible way to enjoy the scenery.

Kia ora Kathryn! Thank you so much for sharing your experience, we loved reading this. We’re really glad our team could adjust the timing to make the most of the conditions, and it’s great to hear the extra stop added to the day.
Flying over the Dart River, touching down on a glacier, and then dropping into a waterfall-filled valley is such a special way to see the landscape, and we’re so pleased you were able to fully enjoy it. Thanks again for flying with us, it means a lot, and we’re thrilled it was such a memorable way to experience the scenery.

Awesome hike and sites of the mountains.
My wife and I had the most marvelous experience hiking in Earnslaw Burn with Donnie. It was a one of the highlights of our trip to New Zealand. The adventure begins with a helicopter journey into the Earnslaw Burn with very experienced helicopter pilot and a very experience guide, oddly from Scotland. Although we I am 71 and my wife is in her 60's we are in pretty good shape which helped with the leisurely 2 hour hike up some trails and thru some frigid streams. Make sure to wear good hiking boots. We learned so much and also enjoyed the serenity and awe inspiring mountains, waterfalls, streams and views of glaciers. It was an awesome experience. The adventure was topped of when we arrived at our end point to find chairs, lunch and even more natural splendor.
Our trip home in the helicopter flew above the mountain with stupendous views and visions of the glacier feeding the streams. A must do if visiting Queenstown.

It is great to know the hike, the scenery, and the insight from both your guide and pilot made the experience so memorable, right through to the well earned lunch at the end.
We really appreciate your recommendation and hope the memories of those mountains, glaciers, and waterfalls stay with you for a long time. We would love to welcome you both back to Queenstown again one day.

Awesome trip to a glacier and Earnslaw Burn
Awesome trip to a glacier and then onto Earnslaw Burn. Earnslaw Burn is just stunning and we spend at least 10 minutes just staring at it in awe. Definitely put Earnslaw Burn on your to do list before it goes entirely in another few years. We stopped on a glacier as well which was really special. Would definitely recommend to dona trip with heli glenorchy

Don't look any further and book this!!!
Earnslaw Burn Encounter Helicopter Tour - This is the one! Look no further and chose Heli Glenorchy! Stunning tour with the absolute best customer service, every single staff member was lovely, helpful, genuinely kind, interested and friendly to the max. The landscape speaks for itself, and was simply unbelievably beautiful. We are still coming to terms with what we were lucky enough to see and do today, and feel super grateful to all the staff today for giving us a once in a lifetime experience. We never felt rushed, service was second to none. Seriously, do yourself a favour and book your heli tour here. Amazing!

Helihike to Earnslaw Burn Glacier - Cannot recommend highly enough
This was the highlight of our trip to the south island. We had a Heli Hike to the Earnslaw Burns Glacier. Ethan our guide was fabulous and you had a real sense of a local company who cared deeply about their area and their customers. Matt the Pilot was fabulous and full of information as we flew. Cannot recommend highly enough.

Do this! You will be so glad you did!
We saved the best for last! After spending three weeks driving around the South Island and hiking over 150+ miles, nothing we saw compared to this. We left from Glenorchy on a sunny day and traveled to Milford Sound for a cruise, making two alpine landings en route, including Earnslaw Burn. Our pilot Chris was fantastic, providing commentary on the sights and history of the landscape. The beauty of Milford Sound is its impressive terrain and not its aquatic life, which is limited; if we were to do it all over again, we would skip the Milford Sound cruise and opt for the heli tour that takes you over the sound.
Can’t recommend this strongly enough! This capstone to our New Zealand vacation was the perfect way to see a truly spectacular place and was worth every penny.

Hope to fly with you again someday!

Amazing Helicopter Experience!! Next level service.
This company offers many different types of flights…. Costs range from a few hundred to a few thousand depending on your desired experience or budget.
I chose the Earnshaw Burn flight with additional glacier landing for about $750NZD
Aircraft was a Squirrel Helicopter and shared with two couples and myself. Matt was our pilot and he was very skilled and knowledgable about the area and where we were flying.
The scenery is next level as we take off for airfield just outside the hamlet of Glenorchy, about 45 mins from Queenstown.
We climbed up t ok the nearest ranges to push to our glacier landing…. Matt took us close and high over the ranges pointing out hiking tracks and trails as well as alpine heli-skiing sites.
Our glacier touchdown was insane and we jumped out of the aircraft to walk around experience the scenery.
Next touch down after some incredible flying and views we touched down at the bottom of Mt Earnshaw and the Earslaw Burn.
We jumped out here as well getting the whole view of the Burn the mountain and glacier.
Can’t praise the guys enough.
Worth every penny…
