Reviews: Queenstown Helicopter Sightseeing - Classic Queenstown Tour - 30 Minutes (Mountain Landing)
Guest User2025-11-27
The staff were incredibly welcoming. They contacted me in advance to arrange the itinerary, and due to weather conditions, the flight was changed to a clear day. They kept confirming the time with me, arranging the shuttle bus, and explaining any precautions. Finally, I got to experience the activity. The flight was perfect, very smooth and stable, even more stable than I expected. We even stopped at the top of the mountain to land and take photos 📷. I had a wonderful and perfect experience.★

Reviews: From Queenstown: Glenorchy and Paradise Scenic Half-Day Tour
Guest User2025-12-02
Everything was perfect! Steven was fantastic — he explained and taught us so many things about New Zealand and its wildlife. The tour is quick and easy, and it even includes a morning tea with a Lord of the Rings cosplay! It was amazing and super fun. Thank you, Steven! Highly recommended!★

Reviews: Lord of the Rings Scenic Half Day Tour from Queenstown
Guest User2024-08-08
Tristan was our tour guide for this tour, he was super fun and a super geek about LOTR which made the tour perfect. He knew so much about the films and locations. I learnt a lot, and had an awsome time. It's a small tour so it's intimate which I much prefer! Definetly recommend 😊
