Fortunate to get good weather but anyway it was spectacular and breathtaking scenery. The best way to see the glaciers and to land on them was special. Wonderful views and unforgettable experience. Staff were very friendly, helpful and laid back but safety conscious. Recommended.
Woaw!

After being completely, dismissively and unapologetically stuffed around for several hours by their competitor across the road, my spirits were lifted when I experienced the exact opposite with Heliservices. I walked in and my family and I were on a chopper in 15 minutes flat. Customer service on point, pilot was awesome, helicopter was great. We did the two glaciers with a landing and it was even cheaper than what across the road we’re gonna charge me if they were organised enough to get us into the sky. I 100% recommend Heliservices Franz Josef!
5 stars experience, and our pick for accessibility!

The highlight of our trip! Although we ummed and ahhed over the price, this experience is the one we talk about the most from our entire 2 weeks in NZ! We chose HeliServicesNZ because of their responsiveness and Can Do attitude to our accessibility needs. Brad enthusiastically and promptly replied to my email asking about access, ground crew member Kevin was a gem helping us in and out of the helicopter at the base, and pilot Ash was fantastic in assisting us on the glacier (and just generally awesome as well!). Having said that, getting in and out of the helicopter was more challenging that I anticipated, with it being quite a squeeze through small doors, and small foot-sized steps to climb up on, so do check with them regarding your specific accessibility requirements. As a group of four adults we had our own little helicopter and we were positioned so that we all had the best view :) The organisation was flawless, on time and stress-free, we couldn't fault them. And to top it off, we were blessed with the most beautiful blue day!
Franz Josef and Fox Glaciers Rock‼️

First things first. No helicopter ride anywhere in the world is going to be inexpensive. We shopped around, struggled with the prices (which were similar across multiple providers) and decided to go with Heliservices.NZ they were locally owned and friendly. But, to be clear, we found that the price paled in comparison with the incredible once in a lifetime experience this turned out to be. We took the "Flight 3" which flew over both Fox and Franz Josef glaciers and included a snow landing. We will never forget this experience. Put it on a credit card, pay for it later, but do not pass up this amazing experience.
