4.00The organisation of the tour itself was a bit of a mess - the instruction says to go to the office but when we arrived that was locked. We only found where to go by walking around to ask different people who were on the other side of the road. The flight itself was incredible and our pilot was extremely nice. The views were incredible and the landing was so smooth.

5.00The guide and pilot for our trip were both wonderful! Both of them emphasized safety, which for a helicopter ride was very reassuring. They were also very kind about taking pictures and answering questions about the glacier. The helicopter ride itself was extremely smooth and the route was placed to make sure we could see the length of the glacier and its path down the mountain. All it all, it was an amazing experience and well worth the time to do once.
