Great Flight

Published on May, 2020

I was gifted this helicopter flight for Christmas... The flight was 45 minutes long so perfect for a first timer like me... Not too long and not too short. We took off over the Christchurch Airport and across the city towards the Port Hills.. Landed next to Mt Herbert where we were able to exit the helicopter and get some photos. One word.. AMAZING! Have included just one of the many photos I took on this flight... I was made to feel very welcome and safe thank you to the amazing staff at Christchurch Helicopters. Fantastic gift idea, am so happy I got the chance to do this...
