  • Fantastic experience, l must do it again!

    This trip was well worth the money, l highly recommend it. Although you are crammed into the helicopter like sardines! It seats 6 but would be better if only 3 were in the back seat instead of 4, especially if you don't go in a group with people you know but their is ample oppotunity to take fantastic photo's during the flight. The landing on the glacier is the icing on the cake & the pilot will take souvenir photo's for you. Our pilot Greg was very knowledgeable & made sure everyone had the oppotunity to see everything. He even tipped the helicopter on it's side so we could look down below us. If you've never been in a helicopter before, & you are a little apprehensive, this is the trip for you as the views are so spectacular you'll forget you are even flying. I'd forgotten how much l love to fly & this trip reminded me l have to book a lesson as soon as l get home!
