Absolutely stunning and breath taking, very highly recommended to use this local company. Therese keep in contact with us as the weather didn’t want to play nicely, but when it finally did it was well worth the wait. For being my first trip in a helicopter, Michael was a great pilot and the trip was so smooth.

This was the most amazing excursion / trip we did over the three weeks we were on the South Island. From start to finish it was throughly enjoyable. Being able to get out on the glacier and having a wander round on the snow and ice was incredible. Would do it again in a heart beat.
Highly experienced Pilot & local company - absolutely amazing
