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!

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
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.

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.

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.
