What our customers say

Highlight of our New Zealand trip. Highly recommend the Siberia Max trip. The helicopter flight and landing on top of one of the nearby mountains were a highlight I will remember for very long. Then followed by a lovely hike and Jetboat ride back. Just so much beauty and fun packed into 5 hour excursion. The team was also very friendly and professional. Special shout out to Chris, our helicopter pilot!

It was one of our highlights of our 4 weeks tour through NZ. The helicopter flight is awesome. The best part, however, begins when the helicopter flys back and you hear nothing but untouched nature...

Highly recommend booking the Heli Siberia Max tour with them! We had an incredible day, starting with the helicopter ride that showed us amazing mountain peaks and lakes from above. The wilderness hike where the helicopter also dropped us off was one of my favorite hikes during my entire trip to New Zealand. Lastly, the jet boat experience with Wilkin River Jets was awesome and thrilling. Backcountry Helicopters is the BEST experience you can book to really explore Mount Aspiring National Park! 10/10 recommend!

We had such a great experience. We took a helicopter from Makarora to Siberia Valley, and then we had a nice walk to Wilkin Valley, where we were picked up by the jet boat that took us back to Makarora. Thanks to the pilot, we had an excellent guided flight over the backcountry, spotting a few chamois and making the experience even more memorable. Thank you Backcountry Helicopters.
