About
Over The Top – The Helicopter Company operates from The Blue Hangar at Queenstown Airport, offering some of the most spectacular aerial views of New Zealand's Southern Lakes region. This is where adventure meets pure luxury: their expert pilots take you over the Remarkables, Lake Wakatipu, Milford Sound, and Glenorchy's remote valleys in ways ground-based tours simply can't match. With a perfect 5.0-star rating from 232 Google reviews, Over The Top has earned its reputation as Queenstown's go-to helicopter operator for unforgettable scenic flights and adventure experiences.
Expect a professional, well-organised operation from the moment you arrive at the airport hangar. Flight durations range from quick 20-minute scenic spins to full-day Milford Sound expeditions, so there's something whether you're after a quick thrill or an immersive journey. The experience suits everyone—couples celebrating special moments, families wanting bragging rights, adventure seekers, and even those nervous about flying (the experienced crew puts you at ease). Bring a camera with a good battery; the photo opportunities are genuinely world-class. Flights operate year-round, though winter offers dramatic snow-capped peaks while summer delivers long daylight hours and clearer conditions.
Heli-flightseeing pairs perfectly with other Queenstown activities: combine it with a Milford Sound cruise, jet boating on Lake Wakatipu, or hiking in the Remarkables. Most visitors book flights early in their trip to get the most out of their remaining time in the region. The best window is September through April when weather is most stable, though experienced pilots operate safely year-round. It's pricey, but it's genuinely one of those once-in-a-lifetime Queenstown experiences that justifies the cost.
