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.

This 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.

Fantastic experience with a great and very knowledgeable pilot. It was amazing to be able to see the 2 glaciers and land on one of them. This was a wonderful experience to share as a family. Highly recommend it.

Great experience! Having never ridden in a helicopter before, my wife and I were a little apprehensive but excited to see the glaciers. The staff was incredibly professional and reassuring, setting us at ease. The flight itself was surprisingly smooth, and the views were spectacular. Landing in the snow, taking in the views in virtual isolation was a truly memorable experience. Highly recommended.
