    A bucket list item tucked off for this 60-something woman. Instructor Juliet was wonderful with her not-so-talented student and it was a thrilling experience. Superb customer service from Robyn also.

    We were frustrated by the weather. Due to cloud and high winds the helicopter lesson did not take place. The guys at Garden City Helicopters did everything they could to fit me in on the 28th, 29th and the 30th but the weather was against us. However full marks for the efforts they made

    I would recommend this to anyone. The office staff were great and offered other suggestions for someone with an interest in aviation to go visit while in Christchurch. My instructor was awesome and I had fun learning about how helicopters fly and getting to try it.

    Great experience! I could really fly by myself. The pilot was very nice. He explained everything and did some great flying.
