The views were out of...
The views were out of this world. The helicopter pilot was awesome and knowledgeable. I wish they would have had better/more clubs and tees at the front tee because they only had one ladies driver and a couple of chewed up rubber tees. Regardless, the day turned out amazing. It was a surprise for me and 5 family members. One of a kind experience

Different golf experience
This one tour is all about the experience. The helicopter ride, the views, the altitude, shooting balls from the “top of the world”, all of that and more, definitely worth the time and the cost. Punctual, but didn’t feel rushed. The team is friendly, confident and kind. Definitely recommend.

What a Surprise!
This was such an epic time. Myself and a friend were surprised with this as a gift from our wives. The pilot and staff were fantastic and the weather was superb. We had an unbelievable time and would do it again in a heartbeat!
Response from the operator: Thank you for you lovely feedback, we are very happy to hear you enjoyed your time with us. I have passed your kind words onto our team. Thank you for choosing Over The Top Helicopters and wishing you a safe onward journey.

Enjoyed every moment on top of the mountain, and the pilot was awesome
It was a surprise gift for the 50th birthday of my partner. He enjoyed every moment with our daughter, started from the helicopter ride, the amazing views from top of the mountain, golf and the champagne. The pilot was awesome and we were grateful for the champagne provided to celebrate his birthday on top of the mountain. So, thank you so much 🙏🏽

Altitude Golf by Helicopter from Queenstown: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Queenstown.
How much does Altitude Golf by Helicopter from Queenstown cost?
+
Prices start at $448 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Queenstown usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Altitude Golf by Helicopter from Queenstown take?
+
Plan for about 1.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Queenstown is not rushed.
Is Altitude Golf by Helicopter from Queenstown worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 61 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 23 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Queenstown, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Altitude Golf by Helicopter from Queenstown?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Altitude Golf by Helicopter from Queenstown suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Altitude Golf by Helicopter from Queenstown?
+
Around 8 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Queenstown can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Queenstown and add a light layer if any part of the 1.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Altitude Golf by Helicopter from Queenstown start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Queenstown within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Queenstown?
+
On Outty we rank every Queenstown experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Premium Milford Sound Small Group Tour & Cruise from Queenstown, Milford Sound Premium Small Group Tour & Cruise from Queenstown, Lord of the Rings Scenic Half Day Tour from Queenstown. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Queenstown?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Queenstown?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
