Highland Helicopters

10/10 Recommend!Our pilot had knowledge like no other of the area and skies so booked us in for the perfect time. Everything was thought of and there wasn't anything they weren't able or willing to do.

I cannot speak highly enough of Kirsty and Paul from Highland Helicopters. We organised a surprise flight for my 90yo father and he had the time of his life! The helicopter was easily accessible for him and my mother. Paul gave a commentary as they flew around the Taieri and Peninsula. My mother was surprised by how 'smooth' it was. Thanks Kirsty and Paul for helping our family create another memory. And of course the weather was perfect too! from TANIA McDonald

Great experience for a birthday surprise. Big thanks for catering to our special needs. Appreciated.

Great people

Fantastic experience. They accommodated us - a family of 5 at the last minute. Their helicopter is the best I’ve flown in - EVER. I’ve had many heli tours but this was exceptional. Great seats, great headphones and mics, great attitude and attention to detail.

Highland Helicopters are fantastic to work with - highly recommended!

This was an amazing experience made even better by the passion and knowledge of the owners. We had an absolute blast touring over the skys of Otago. Definitely something we will be back to do again soon.Thank you so much.

For the majority of people a helicopter flight is something others do - something they could only dream about.Well thanks to Kirsty and Paul Williams of Highland Helicopters they allowed my husband and I to dream - for 2 and half hoursOur dream became reality flying from Mosgiel to Lake Wanaka and return. We pinched ourselves at the view, flying up to a glacier and closer to Mt Aspiring than we ever thought possible, but none of this could have happened without the absolute expertise of Paul as our pilot and guide.For 5 days we waited for the weather to be perfect. Kirsty made it very clear to us on arrival in Dunedin that if the weather was not perfect he would not fly. He had to be sure we could safely fly and return in the time frame allocated without any risk to the machine or the passengers.On our fifth day in Dunedin we got the call to be at the hangar at 9am ready to go. After going through the safety protocols before we took flight Paul explained the flight plan. We had given him carte blanche with the flight, we were strangers to the area and he was the expert so we placed our trust in him and Kirsty to deliver what we had communicated in numerous emails going back and forth from Sydney to Dunedin.The flight was an absolute blast. For us, a once in a lifetime - a memory maker that will not be beaten. To be flown close to a glacier you felt you could touch if you reached out the window, to see Mt Aspiring close up knowing you would never reach that height other than in the flying machine you were in. To see the valleys, the old gold workings, the trails and the absolute stunning mountains that a drive would never deliver and all the while being given the commentary from the pilot who clearly knew his subject. Paul you were the utmost professional and a wonderful story teller and we cannot thank you and Kirsty enough for your time and effort since our first contact months ago to the fulfilment of the surprise for my husband (who I wasn’t sure would even get on the helicopter!) to him saying this was the highlight of our trip and the highlight of all his holidays. Thank you both, you deserve all your success. We hopefully will be back..There is no other reason to come back for, other than another flight!Regards Maria and Michael Bayfield - Sydney.
