4.00For the scenery and the experience it would have been a five! The pilot expertly manoeuvres the helicopter to try and give all the passengers a good view whilst maintaining a commentary. My reason for knocking a star off and marking the trip 4 out if 5 is just that 30 minutes is not long enough to take it all in. It just felt a wee bit rushed if you were trying to take photos on the flight.
Yes, the trip is well worth taking. My advice.... film/video record the scenery whilst in flight. There's plenty of time on the glacier for photos.
