★ ★ ★ ★ ★ If you want the best day out then go with these guys. Too many mountains to list that they can take you too. Request Phil (Guide) and Nick (pilot) and hold on, we did a private charter 14 runs with 4 mates, different abilities didn't phase them, they found the best of both worlds for everybody.. This is prob why i return every year

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I’ve been boarding a few times but always fancied Heli boarding so while in Queenstown booked in.
Wasn’t really sure what to expect and thought it might be over my (intermediate) skill level but what thought I would go for it.
Booked in with the Queenstown office and the morning of the trip got a call from the office saying weather was good and the trip was on.
I got picked up by a really nice guy (Thomas) and he drove us (and a couple others) through Wanaka and to the meeting point, all along the drive amazing scenery and good conversation.
A detailed and simple briefing about avalanche safety and format for the day took place on the ground which was reassuring.
Once at the meeting point cloud was apparently holding us up but they pushed on and an amazing chopper flight took us to the chalets high in the mountains where we had an amazing lunch of hot and cold food with loads of drinks and snacks.
Once the mountain gods sorted out the clouds we were on!
Myself along with 3 other guys at the same ability got helicoptered up to a peak of a mountain and our legend of a guide (Lydia Bradey- check her out!) lead the way...
Deep untouched powder and long runs - AMAZING!!!
The views are unbelievable and the snow....
4 runs done I was wanting more but time had passed due to early clouds so back to base via chopper and boat then the drive back....
I can’t recommend this company enough, other people were asking if we flew a they were canceled by other companies but Southern Lakes delivered.
Don’t think about it - DO IT!!!
Thanks again to everyone -

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ AWESOME! These guys are all absolute legends, I have been lucky enough to have 2 days heli-boarding with these guys and would 100% recommend to everyone. The most recent day, Aug 6 2018, was an absolute blast. The guides are all smart and professional and we felt great in their company on the slopes. Don't think about it, just book with these guys. Shout out to Tubbs! Best guide in the business.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ First time heliskiing, and the experience that Southern Lakes Heliski provided has me hooked. A highly professional outfit with experienced personable people making for a fantastic day. The breathtaking experience of standing on top of a peak with your guides and fellow snow travellers is a must do.
James and Phil (our guides), Liam (pilot) and Mark (our pick up man and host) were all absolutely brilliant. My special shout out to Phil who really helped me out with my very rusty powder skiing - I took some tumbles but it’s like a blanket in that snow ??
You need to be flexible in your timing - these folk are amazing but they can’t control the weather. We were lucky that we had days up our sleeves so got to follow the sunshine ?
Can’t recommend them highly enough. If it’s on your bucket list - go for it!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We had the most amazing day of heliboarding with Southern Lakes Heliski. They are incredibly professional and do everything in their power (the rest being up to the weather gods) to ensure you have an amazing experience.
They made it so easy and relaxing for us from get-go, picking us up in the morning (thanks Mark!), giving us ample time to get prepped and dropping us home at the end of the day.
We went for the 8 run day, and were lucky enough to have our own heli and fantastic pilot Liam, and 2x guides go out with us on the day, Phil and James, both were awesome, incredibly knowledgeable with great chat, they briefed us in well on how to use our trackers, and found us some absolutely stunning locations with great powdery conditions (considering it still being early in the season).
Also must rate the lunch highly, delicious food and ample fuel to keep us going for the afternoon!
Couldn’t rate the experience highly enough, you just can’t beat a good day in the powder with the mountains all to yourself. We’ll definitely be back for more!
The most important thing is that the onus is on yourself as a customer to make sure you have enough flexible dates in case the weather doesn’t play ball, as we had to postpone to make sure we could get the best day of flying.
