Amazing!

5.00The 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.

5.00Don’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.
A Sensational "Bucket List" Experience

5.00This experience should be on everyone's "bucket list" - it was Sensational !! After a comprehensive safety briefing we hopped inside our immaculately presented helicopter with lots of windows and was warmly welcomed by our very experienced Pilot. I'd forgotten just how awesome helicopters were. The flight was very smooth and we saw everything - mountains, villages and glaciers. Landing on the snow was also very special. We took many photographs. From the ground you actually see very little and it is not until you are in the air that you can appreciate this truly awesome and vast wilderness. From the booking to landing everything was very well managed.
