At the last minute we changed our mind and asked if we could fly to Milford Sound instead. They were very accommodating and came up with a flight for us that that included a breathtakingly beautiful flight through the mountains to stunning Sterling Falls, a landing in Milford Sound with time to explore. The return flight flew along the Tasmin Sea coastline spotting dolphins, seals and with another landing on a remote beach on the Fiordland coastline. We left Haast at 11:30 and returned at 4:15. Our pilot Scott was excellent and this flight has turned out to be the highlight of our entire month and stay in New Zealand. read ess

The weather was changing drastically because they were expecting a cyclone which seems like a pretty regular thing so all flights were cancelled that day. We didn’t want to stay in Franz for another day to wait out and based on the suggestion, we decided to head south and loop back to tekapo on our last few days to try our luck again on helicopter. Both Tekapo Helicopter and Air Safari were our top choices but eventually we went with Tekapo because the lady were very helpful on the phone to make the arrangement for us. Highly recommend to take the grand tour on helicopter just for the experience, don’t go for less 🙂

P/S: you can’t bring any bags onto the copters so only a camera with you. They would also try to squeeze in 6 people if there are some folks who are smaller in size so just be aware the space is quite tight and they would rotate you beside front and back seats and shuffle you on the back so it’s not all bad view. Just make sure you speak out or ask for a swap in seating after landing on the pad above the peak. read ess

Frankly - I never ever thought my wife and I would be having a snowball fight and snow angel competition on top of a 5500ft mountain with my two under ten year olds. Heliservices were fantastic - I cannot fault them in any way. Thoroughly recommended. Though expensive - my wife and I are 1000% sure it was worth the money for this once in a lifetime experience. … read ess
