Great heli hike tour

5.0We had a fantastic morning on the Tasman glacier. Our guide Fiona was brilliant and very knowledgeable. They give you shows, socks, gloves etc if you need it. There's overalls if you need them. You just need some water and a camera really. Spectacular views, wonderful opportunity to take part in this. We saw ice caves, ice lakes, rock falls and crevices. The group can only move as fast as the slowest person so there is a fair bit of waiting around if people of below average fitness have booked on...

5.0We had an incredible experience on the heli hike tour. Everything was well organised, and our guide, Pawel was very knowledgeable and made the hike a lot of fun. We got to see some very cool glacial formations, and had plenty of opportunities to take photos. Highly recommended.
