A fabulous experience! Fly up and over the mountains, close and personal, then land gently in the snow for a photo opportunity not to be missed. See this magnificent country from above and enjoy travelling to places difficult to reach. The sky was moody, but the video and photos were worth it. Felt safe in the professional hands of our pilot, Cody, who looked after us so well. A brilliant trip.
Spectacular and exceptional

Landing on a snow-capped glacier was nothing short of spectacular. The Milford Sound cruise scenery were exceptional.
Worth it

A highlight of our trip to Queenstown. I booked this early to ensure we had time to reschedule as it’s weather permitting. Our scheduled time was delayed by a couple of hours only and the weather couldn’t have been more perfect. Jeremy our pilot and all the team were friendly and professional. There were 4 of us on this flight and we each had a turn of sitting in the front - back seat still had outlooks that won’t disappoint. There’s really no bad seat. Glacier landing was awesome.
Wish I could have done this!

I am unable to rate this experience as it was cancelled twice due to poor weather. The communication was very good and the operator tried to accommodate me with other dates but my availability was limited. I give them 5 stars for effort and putting safety first. I suggest to others if you are booking this, try for a day early in your stay in Queenstown to give yourself flexibility on case of bad weather.
The weather wasn't great...
