    This Fiordland Heli-hike was a highlight of our New Zealand trip. The staff at Southern Lakes Helicopters were wonderful to work with, and I highly recommend them to anyone interested in a great experience like this. They were very prompt in responding to every communication and question, and we had several! Katerina and Brittany were both particularly helpful. This was our first experience with a helicopter trip, and it could not have been any better. The hike down from Luxmore Hut was beautiful, and the water taxi met us right on time at the end. If you're thinking about doing this, then stop thinking and just do it! A couple of days after this excursion we were taking a daytrip to Mt Cook that also included a long hike. Unfortunately, that morning I was experiencing some knee pain and decided not to attempt the hike. At the very last minute, while on the bus to Mt Cook, I contacted Brittany again and asked if they could arrange a trip for us from their office at the Mt Cook airport. She very quickly coordinated a reservation there and arranged a flight that took us to the Tasman Glacier. It was fantastic. The pilots at both locations were lots of fun, but obviously very focused on our safety as well as our enjoyment. We did both trips while staying in Queenstown and just transferred by bus to the two locations. No need to rent a car. Thank you again to Southern Lakes for a wonderful couple of days!

    It was definitely a surprising trip! Thanks so much for the Southern lake helicopter for this amazing ride! It took around 45min and we stopped on the Kepler mountain for around 10min to rest and took photos. How sweet was the pilot that after landed he walked in the snow to create a track so that we would not sink in the snow and get cold feet. The life-time experience is unforgettable, flying with all the surrounding snow mountains, which is totally different from the on-land perspective. One must-do thing when you are travelling in Te Anau!

    Had an amazing tour of Doubtful and Dusky Sounds with amazing pilot Ben. He landed us in three amazing spots high above the fiords. We were so fortunate to have beautiful early fall weather for tjis flight. Would definitely recommend this flight. It was a once in a lifetime experience for sure.

    What a wonderful company!! I accidentally booked the wrong day and they completely worked with me to allow us to still go up for the day. The most absolutely amazing, genuine, wonderful people working there. The experience was once in a lifetime with doing an alpine landing and then continuing on for the Luxmore Hut drop off. My dad and I continued on towards the summit and then walked through the path down to the lake. It was an easy climb down. He had a torn meniscus at the time and was still able to do it easily with a brace.

    This was one of the best experiences of my life. Our Pilot Ben was amazing, the office staff were really nice! The views were incredible. Landing on untouched areas and walking around is fantastical. It seriously did not feel like real life.
