Magical
Fantastic experience, with friendly, knowledgeable staff, a great ride and brilliant time landing on the snow. The pilot was very patient while my son explored snow for the first time, and waited until we were ready to go. I would highly recommend!

Kia ora Sue, Thank you so much for your lovely review! We’re thrilled to hear you and your son had such a special experience with us, there’s nothing quite like seeing snow for the first time. We’ll be sure to pass your kind words on to the team and pilot. We really appreciate the recommendation and hope to welcome you both back for another adventure soon!

A magical experience
My partner Rachel has never played in the snow. Roll-eyes… she's a kiwi. After a week exploring the area e decided a snow landing would finish our holiday perfectly. Not just a hop up there Remarkables but a proper exploring flight and landing. Scotty our pilot watched the clouds and said we can do this. Safe, professional… we landed on almost virgin snow (only hare footprints!). Truely magical. Thanks team!

Love this! What an epic way to wrap up your trip — and we’re honoured to be part of Rachel’s first-ever snow experience (better late than never, right?). Huge shoutout to Scotty for making the magic happen — fresh snow, alpine views, and not a soul in sight... except the hare! Thanks for flying with us, and hope to see you both again for the next adventure!
