Queenstown Helikopterupplevelse Exklusiv Earnslaw Burn Glacier

Absolute highlight of our visit. This was spectacular. The pilot Bill was informative and friendly. The best experience

We did the Earnslaw Burn helicopter experience with Heliworks yesterday and I genuinely don’t know if words can do it justice. At around $1,000 per person for the hour, this sits firmly in “special occasion” territory — but hand on heart, this is one of the most extraordinary experiences we have ever spent money on. The moment you lift off and start flying over the mountains around Queenstown, your brain almost can’t process what it’s seeing. Flying through alpine terrain, past the peaks where heli-skiers get dropped off (and seriously… they all need their heads read because I cannot comprehend skiing those mountains!) was breathtaking. Then you arrive into Earnslaw Burn. Nothing prepares you for it. It feels prehistoric. Massive rock walls, waterfalls pouring from impossible heights, glaciers, hanging valleys — the scale of it is so immense and untouched that it honestly doesn’t feel real. We filmed while we were there and afterwards I said: if heaven exists on earth, we may have just found it. The flight itself was exceptional and the return journey was just as fascinating — seeing remnants of old gold mining history, hearing stories of miners taking horses into these remote places and building huts in terrain that feels inaccessible even today. A huge thank you to our pilot Matt — calm, knowledgeable, professional and an exceptional pilot. Watching someone navigate that landscape with such confidence only added to the experience. We felt completely looked after from start to finish. This wasn’t just a scenic flight. It was one of those rare experiences that overloads your senses in the best possible way and stays with you long after you land. If you’re visiting Queenstown and have the opportunity — do it. You will not regret it.

Unreal experience! Landing and seeing the glacier and the waterfalls from below was the experience of a lifetime. Zipping up close to the glacier in the helicopter was unreal!

This is a must do! Treat yourself to a bucket list experience. Beautiful views and amazing staff. Flight was smooth as well. Pilot was excellent and knowledgeable

Excellent experience. Breathtaking. Easy to book, staff communicated well with us including expectations. Callum, our pilot was amazing, so skilled. The glacier landing was breathtaking. Well worth the cost.

This was such an awesome experience! My pilot was knowledgeable and fun to be with. The scenery and sites were amazing. I highly recommend going on this adventure.

The Earnslaw Burn Explorer was the absolute highlight of the trip and truly worth every dollar—a genuine, spiritual, bucket-list experience. The views were magical, breathtaking, and the six-star service from the Heliworks team made the difference. Our pilot and ground crew were incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and professional, ensuring we felt safe and cared for throughout the entire, seamless adventure. Very highly recommend this unforgettable, thrilling experience to anyone!

WOW. Flights to Milford Sound were grounded due to bad weather. Heliworks stepped in with an offer to a hanging glacier flying over mountains and landing at the foot of the glacier. Great service, great scenery and very professional pilot. Highly recommend.
