The experience itself (Shotover Jet and scenic helicopter) was excellent. Getting it booked - not so much.
We booked this as a single event and were happy transporting ourselves. The times available were 10am or 1:30pm so we booked the latter. Our booking was confirmed for helicopter flight at 10am and Jet boat at 12:30pm. I queried this and was told it was due to weights for the helicopter. I said that was not what we had booked. A different person came back with better times (1pm Jet and 2:30pm Helicopter). Still not perfect and what we thought we had booked but at least back to half a day instead of a whole day. Then realised the helicopter flight was actually listed on the voucher as 2:30 AM!
If this is a premium experience the booking process was anything but! Glad we booked far enough in advance to have time to fix things.

Great experience with both Jet boat and helicopter flight! Jet boat 🚤 was thrilling, heli flight 🚁 was stunning with a mountain top landing. Both very informative services, highly recommended!
Service rating:
Bought a combo package from them and due to weather condition, one of the activities were cancelled. Eventually, pricing for the single activity could have been cheaper if bought elsewhere.

Awesome views great pilot
Service rating:
A great combo, although after the thrill and exhilaration of the Shotover jet the helicopter ride was almost anticlimactic. A nice treat if you have not been in a helicopter though.

The service provider took the clients on the wrong tour. They did offer to rebook and Everything travel were great at trying to rectify the situation - but but ultimately the supplier stuffed up & my cleints had a very tight schedule and the only time they had to spare was after a winery tour and lunch which turned out to be not such a great idea.

Hi Jennie. Thanks for taking the time to provide us with feedback on your Heliscenic combo activity in Queenstown. I'm sorry to hear that there was a mix up with your booking and that you ended up on a different helicopter flight. This must have been really frustrating for your group. I have spoken to the manager at Queenstown Combos who operates this tour and they are terribly apologetic and have accepted full responsibility for the mistake. They did inform me that they offered your group a free flight but unfortunately as you mentioned you were on too tight a schedule and could not do this second flight. Once again, sorry for the initial mix up and we look forward to seeing your groups again in Queenstown in the future.

Once the helicopter lands on the summit of the remarkables, does it fly you back down? How do you get back down from the remarkables summit?
Comments
Thank you for your question about the Heliscenic. The helicopter lands on The Remarkables where you will disembark and be able to enjoy the epic views and take lots of pictures. Afterward you will board the helicopter for your return flight to Queenstown. The Shotover Jet, you can do this afterward or on an alternative day.

Many thanks for your email regarding the Jet & Heli Scenic combo. For the maximum weight of the helicopter, we would need to know the weights of all individuals as it also depends on the distribution of the weight.
Hi there, I would like to book 7 people and note that only 6 can fit. Do you have more than one helicopter or does one group have to wait? Thanks

Thank you so much for your enquiry. Yes, we can certainly book 7 people for the helicopter flight and split you up between 2 helicopters. We just need everyone's approximate body weights to arrange accordingly.
Hi there! I have an existing gift voucher with Everything New Zealand that is valid until June 7, 2021. I would really love to use that voucher to "pre-book" this Jet & Heli activity, but cannot commit to dates as yet. Is it possible to book the activity, and then schedule the dates later, similar to how one can with Red Balloon or Adrenaline experiences? I'm happy to chat with someone and provide the voucher number if needed. Thank you so much in advance, team!
Comments
Thank you so much for your enquiry. Yes, we can change the booking date (subject to availability) if needed. I will send you an email now to discuss this further.

Hello,
Me and my boyfriend are planning to take jet and heli combo with your company when we arrive to Queenstown. We are not flexible with time: we can only do the afternoon session on the 6th of January. Is booking essential?
Comments
Hi Gabriela. There is currently space on the Heliscenic Combo in Queenstown in the afternoon on the 6th January however I can assure you that this will book up soon so I would highly recommend booking asap. This is the busiest time in Queenstown so advance bookings are essential.
We travel with 4 adults an 4 kids age from 8 to 12. Could we all get on the same flight?
Comments
Hi Jeoffrey
The helicopters on the Heliscenic Shotover Jet and Helicopter combo can take a maximum of 6 people and depends on weights. If the 8 of you wanted to go, you would be split across 2 helicopters.
We have 5 people, can we seat in a helicopter together?
Comments
Hi Egan, the helicopters can take up to 6 passengers so yes, all 5 of you would be in the one helicopter for your Heliscenic.
Is it possible for one of the party to make the return journey on the helicopter rather than the jet boat ride?
Comments
Hi Bob,
The Heliscenic product works by doing the Shotover Jet Boat first and then the Helicopter flight back. There are no variations to the way this can be done.
Just reading your question I think you might be saying, can one person do the Helicopter Flight option only. EG They would not do the Jet Boat at all. If so, this could be arranged.
Regards,
Nigel
Hi there,
Could I have someone to give me a call on 021 800 434 or email me on [email protected] in regards to a competition we are hosting for Heineken. We are drawing the competition on the 16th of October, but we are wanting to talk about invoicing etc. Thank you
I am a solo traveler and will be in Queenstown week of 1st july -4th july. Can i buy this package even if i am not in a group? I wanted to try this but not sure if you allow 1 person to buy? Thanks!
Comments
Hi Jamin, yes, you certainly can book the Heliscenic for just 1 person. The combo does require a minimum number of people to book in order to go ahead however this is generally not an issue as there is likely to be a few others booked at the same time. If the combo doesn't go ahead then you are able to reschedule or receive a full refund. I recommend booking for one of your first days in Queenstown so you have a few days to reschedule if need be.
there are 6 members of our family is the helicopter able to take us all at one time
Comments
Hi John, yes the helicopter certainly take your family together. They can take up to 6 passengers at once.

Hi Judy. The Heliscenic operates twice a day all year at 8.30am and 1.30pm. The cost is $275 for adults and $199 for children and includes a 30 minute jet boat ride on the Shotover Jet and a 20 minute scenic helicopter flight with a mountain landing on top of the Remarkables mountain range. The entire combo takes about 2.5 hours.
