5.00Flying over the glacier. Absolutely awesome flight up to glacier and then landing on the plateau. The snow was packed harder than what we anticipated.

5.00It appears that weather affects this A LOT! So get on when you can. We only saw Franz Josef, and unable to land, but we are so grateful we did it regardless of this. Brilliant!

4.00There was cloud coverage coming in so we spent more time on the glacier than I believe is normal. Our pilot wasn't the most informative but that was ok.
A must-do!
