2.Altitude Golf by Helicopter from Queenstown

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 22 reviews · from $477

You’ll fly with an Over The Top pilot from Frankton to a private mountain par 3 above Queenstown. With a pilot-caddy, clubs, balls, hotel transfers, and about five shots included, you’ll tee off from one of three boxes, putt out, and fly back. Allow 90 minutes. Weather and snow can cancel the trip.

“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.”
