I was feeling disappointed that there was no snow on the peaks of Mt Remarkables, but as we had booked the tour we decided to go ahead with it. This trip was the single most enjoyable one that I did in New Zealand's South Island. The views from the Helicopter on a crystal clear day were stunning. And once we landed on the mountain, the beauty of Lake Wakatipu was simply majestic. Our pilot was informative and friendly. Can't recommend this enough!!!!

The flight over The Remarkables was amazing. I booked 3 seats on the helicopter for myself, my daughter and my Mum for her 70th birthday. She was absolutely blown away by the shear size of the mountains and when we landed up top and were able to get out and have our photos taken on the edge, well it was like the icing on the cake. She hadn't been on a helicopter before and this was a great experience for, not only her, but for all of us. Thank you. You helped make her birthday one of the best yet.
