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.

Latest Questions about Jet & Heli - Heliscenic (Queenstown)

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.

What is the heaviest weight you can have on a helicopter?
We have 8 passengers so that would mean 4 here 4 there?

Comments

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

Comments

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.

How long before do we have to be there. And where does it leave from?

The check-in for the Shotover Jet is at the Shotover Jet Base in Arthurs Point whereas for the Helicopter Flight we can arrange a pick up from your accommodation or you can drive out to the Helicopter Line Base yourself.

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.

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

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.

What time would this tour be on March 20th from Queenstown? costs? plus any more informaton that you can provide on this combo.
Thank you.

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.
