Queenstown flight up to the Remarkables

Amy 3 July 2024

[Employee of redballoon] I bought this for my husband for our first wedding anniversary, it is a great and affordable experience to do that still gives that wow factor! The views all across Queenstown from the top of the Remarkables are incredible as well as the scenic flight in heli over the lake on the way back. It's the perfect amount time on the ground to enjoy the snow without getting cold!

Amazing experience

Lisa 26 June 2024

I booked to do this on the morning of my birthday alone, and it was the best gift I could give myself. The views were breathtaking, and the helicopter driver landed on top of the mountains, and we stayed up there for a while and it was just amazing. Couldn't be happier with this experience. If you are ever in QT, trust me this is worth doing
