One of our favorites is the Milford Ultimate and it lives by its name. Or for a specialised itinerary reach out to us and we will create an Over The Top Extraordinary Helicopter Excursions just for you.

As we are a weather dependent experience, it is best to book helicopter experiences on your first available day and to keep spare days free in your itinerary in case it is necessary to reschedule.

Should it not be possible to fly due to inclement weather, we will endeavour to ‘roll’ the reservation over to the next available day. If all rescheduling options are exhausted and you are unable to fly with us in the event of a weather disruption you will be offered a refund (outsourced partners may have their own cancellation policy).
