Amazing experience flying with Fiordland Helicopters!
Someone recommended this company to us because of their excellent reputation in the region, and we weren’t disappointed.Mark dropped us into our Wapiti hunting block and promptly picked us up again a few days later (unexpectedly) after our campsite got flooded out. The scenery we flew over is absolutely phenomenal and needs to be seen to be believed.Sarah was super helpful throughout the booking process, and she even couriered us + our gear to/from the hangar because we didn’t have access to a vehicle - supreme southern hospitality!100% would book with them again on future trips to Fiordland, and will recommend to everyone coming down here.

Great way to sample the Kepler.
Heli and Hike was an awesome way to experience part of the Kelper track in a day with 3 teenage boys.  We drove from Queenstown and boarded the Heli with Mark as our pilot.   Even though the day was a bit windy Mark was able to drop us at Luxmore Hut with the skill of a seasoned and knowledgable pilot.   From there it took us about 3 .5 hours of leisurely downhill walking back to Te Anau.   We met several persons coming up the hill whom wished they had experienced the track the way we were.  Amazing track and amazing service with the team at Fiordland Helicopters.    Would recommend to anyone.

SOUTH:  PRESERVATION, DUSKY & DOUBTFUL
I'm still stunned with experience!  Mark Hollows was our pilot and guide - his knowledge was extensive and his treatment to my wife and me (I have a broken arm and wearing a cast) was beyond courteous - he was a gentlemen of the highest order.  I was awed with the landscape and Mark"s description and narrative, but when we got back to our computer after the flight and uploaded the hundreds of photos we took, I became nearly speechless, as I talked with my wife, with beauty of the experience.  We will fly the NORTH Ultimate Collecxtion in a few days, and my only regret is that we won't have time to make another flight after that.

Wow Wow Wow!!!
This is the BEST trip we have EVER done!! Kim, our pilot, was fabulous from start to finish, with lots of knowledge of the area. Far exceeded our expectations with scenery best in the world! We had plenty of time at  two stops for gorgeous photos. An absolute MUST-DO. Thankyou so much for a never-to-be forgotten experience of a lifetime!

Highlight of our trip!!!
The helicopter ride was the highlight of our trip to New Zealand. We did the Doubtful Sound tour which was truly spectacular; words cannot describe the unspoiled beauty of Fiordland National Park as seen from the air.  Our trip included two landings, one atop a mountain and one by a waterfall and stream.  The expert pilot included great commentary on the sights as well as fun facts on New Zealand. We were fortunate to be picked up on the grassy area in front of Fiordland Lodge, where we were staying.  Highly Recommend!

Hands Down the Best Tour in the World
If you are looking for an experience that you absolutely cannot find anywhere else and will remember forever, this is that experience.  My family and I booked the Doubtful Sound Heli / Kayak Exclusive day trip.  I don't think any experience will come close to how incredible this day was.  We started at Fiordland's Helicopter pad with Kim as our pilot.  Kim is an incredible pilot and also one of the coolest people I've ever met.  And thank god he was our pilot, because my mom got extremely nervous when we first got in the helicopter.  Kim was able to calm her down and assure her that she was in good hands.  I've been in a few helicopter rides before, but nothing compares to the beauty seen over Doubtful Sound.  Kim flew us next to the mountains, pointed out locations from movies, and shared his incredible experiences.  When we flew between mountains to a hidden waterfall, the scenery was so stunning I was convinced that I was in a movie.  From there, we met up with Cloudy and Mark for kayaking.  Cloudy and Mark were hilarious and such fun that even if we didn't kayak, it would have been a great trip.  We did kayak, and Doubtful Sound was unbelievable.  We only saw one other group for the whole four hours on the water, which is a huge difference from the overcrowded Milford Sound.  And our lunch was beautifully served on the boat in between kayaking sessions, and to this day it is the best lunch I've ever had.  All in all this is the greatest experience you can possibly take in New Zealand to a scenery that is yet to be discovered by mainstream tourists.  We cannot thank Kim and the team enough for taking such good care of us.  They went the extra mile to make this trip the best it possibly could be.  You leave here with an unforgettable trip and amazing new friends!
