Milford Extended Helicopter Tour from Queenstown

Sensational! We had the most fabulous time with Will flying through the stunning scenery of NZ! Almost didn’t book this but decided to live with no regrets and it did not disappoint.

A fantastic experience. Our pilot, Jeremy, was very knowledgeable about the area and made sure to rotate the group so everyone had an opportunity to fly up front. The staff were very helpful when our first trip had to be cancelled to put us onto another trip. Would absolutely do again

We had a trip booked for Good Friday, but the company rang and told us that if we could move our other bookings (totally separate) around, the weather would be better on the Thursday. We did that and were so pleased we did. Had an absolutley cracking morning - perfect weather, Alfie our pilot was fantastic and we saw everything we could expect. Landing on the glacier was fabulous and seeing Milford Sound from the air was incredible. Great day and a trip highlight.

It was very easy to book with them. Everyone we met was friendly and professional. Our pilot, Luke, was outstanding. The experience itself was the highlight of our trip. It was our first trip to NZ and without question we already wanted to come back and do another flight. We will definitely book with these guys again. Highly recommend.

Best views of the mountains, Glaciers and Milford Sound! Highly recommend! Very kind and efficient staff!

​If you’re on the fence about booking a helicoper flight in Queenstown with Glacier Southern Lakes Helicopters, just do it!! From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel like VIPs. They were professional, welcoming, and handled all the safety briefings with a smile. ​Our pilot Luke was a total legend. Not only was the flying incredibly smooth, but the commentary was insightful and funny. We witnessed the most jaw-dropping views we had ever seen. The snow landing was pure magic. Huge thanks to Phil, Luke, Bron, Alice and Grace. We had the most unforgettable experience! xxxx

Fantastic way to see the scenery of Milford Sound and surroundings. Plenty of photo opportunities during the flight and during the three landings. Special thanks to our pilot Alfie Speight. Highly recommended trip.

This was one of the best experiences I’ve ever had. I’ve flown in helicopters before, but this felt like the Rolls Royce of helicopter experiences. We booked the H145 as there were eight of us, and it was the perfect choice. The flight was for my husband’s birthday, so it was a special occasion and one we will never forget. We had a few nervous flyers in the group, but our pilot Jeremy was exceptional. He was calm, professional and instantly put everyone at ease. The experience included three landings, one on a glacier, one at Milford Sound, and another in a very remote mountainous location beside a lake, where we enjoyed a picnic and champagne. It was absolutely unforgettable and could not have been more perfectly executed.

Good communication! I’m sure this would have been the HIGHLIGHT of our NZ trip, but due to weather our trip had to be cancelled with several days of rain impeding our plans. We were contacted promptly the morning of our original heli flight and given another date to fly a few days later. Sadly, the weather wasn’t in our favor on that extended date either. Even though we built in buffer days for weather our NZ trip was now on its final day. Full refund given. We will book it again for our next trip and fingers crossed we can make it happen. We’ve done several bookings with Viator and have always been impressed. Next time!

I did the 2.5hour Milford Extended Helicopter Tour and it was nothing short of extraordinary! From lift-off, the views were surreal, glaciers, waterfalls, and untouched alpine peaks that felt almost otherworldly. Landing on a remote glacier and later on the Milford Sound shoreline made the whole experience feel truly once-in-a-lifetime. The pilot was excellent, professional, knowledgeable, and made us feel safe while also pointing out hidden gems along the way. It’s hard to put into words how breathtaking it all was, easily the highlight of my trip and something I’ll never forget. Highly recommend it, would not think twice about it, and cannot wait to come back for some more. Thanks again!
