Kurz, aber einmaliges Erlebnis!

Der Abholdienst von meinem Hostel hat super funktioniert und dann sind wir zum Queenstown Flughafen gefahren wo es nach einem schnellen Check-in und der Einweisung auch fast schon in den Heli ging. Man fliegt mit 2-3 anderen Personen maximal. Der Start war mein absolutes Highlight, das Gefühl war der Hammer! Dann sind wir nach oben auf einen Berg geflogen und haben dort 10 Minuten Fotopause gemacht (Unbedingt super dick anziehen -7 Grad) und dann auch schon wieder runter geflogen. Es ging alles so super schnell und ich bin mir nicht sicher ob es sooo lohnenswert ist. Vielleicht sollte man besser in eine andere längere Tour investieren. Das Team generell ist super nett!

Erlebniswert

Ansich ist der Flug natürlich sehr kurz aber ein Erlebnis war es trotzdem. Wir hatten Glück, dass bereits Schnee lag und wir deshalb eine Schneelandung auf dem Berg machen konnten. Für etwas korpulentere Menschen bei voller Auslastung allerdings nur begrenzt empfehlenswert, da es sehr beengt ist.

Worthwhile

It was an awesome time and we both enjoyed the experience. We would highly recommend The Helicopter Line.

Not good

They changed my booking time without communicating with me. They made 6 people on board but the room is only enough for 4 people. I had to squeezed really hard while seeing the views. Not enjoyable:( I will not recommend it to my friends.

From Queenstown 20 Minute Scenic Flight & Alpine Landing - Pilots Special - The Helicopter Line

Hi, We’re sorry you didn’t enjoy your experience with us. We explained in your confirmation email that your booking time had changed due to availability. We apologize for any misunderstanding. Our helicopters can take up to 6 passengers depending on everyone’s weights and if you haven’t requested a private charter there’s a chance more people will be booked on with your group. We hope the views at your landing site made up for your seating arrangement.

AMAZING EXPERIENCE!

Our family of 5 thoroughly enjoyed our helicopter flight and landing experience. Our pilot Scotty was amazing. We went early November and there was still plenty of snow at the summit (knee deep) Kids had a blast sinking and falling over and we were able to capture some beautiful photos together. Totally recommend, you could not come to Queenstown and not do this!!!
