We were very well received by fine staff. We received good and clear explanations in a friendly way. We were very lucky with the weather. But this has not affected our assessment. All in all a super experience. Also doable with children. Ours were 4 and 7 at the time.
Excellent experience

Up to the point of leaving we were not sure if we could get up there, let alone land, literally last minute we get rushed on and whilst taking off found out we could have a landing despite being told it won't happen, so very very happy with that, couldn't get to franz Joseph due to weather so got around 5 minutes on Foz with landing, so price was adjusted, staff great and this was our se and attempt at this so last chance. Very enjoyable experience and staff bent over backwards to help, I recommend over taking off from Franz Joseph as Fox is not as tourisy and the township is better, missed a star for not getting full experience
Even though weather was...

The glazier landing was amazing, the snow was so soft we sunk down to our knees, which made it all the more fun experience for all of us. The pilot was informative and took great photos for us. Perfect weather conditions made it an amazing experience, even though we didn't get to fly over Fox Glazier as the weather closed in quite quickly. Landing on Franz Josef was awesome though.
The best for an amazing experience.

We got so lucky with the weather , the pilot Ken (he was so nice to us ) . The flight was spectacular and we received a little extra air time (2 extra landings) which also was special .
I could never have margined the beauty & grandeur until these guys took me there. So grateful for their professionalism.

Don’t bring bags or selfie sticks; you’ll have to leave these at the office otherwise. Brilliant value for money. Excellent staff with great sense of humour. Gave us Aussies heaps of lip, deserved it all. The lady chopper pilot pulled out all the tricks to Fox and Franz Joseph Glaciers. What a wonderful experience.
