Fabulous pilot, Dion, who gave a great commentary. Really can’t appreciate the beauty and scale of the glaciers unless you see them from the air. Magical experience to land on the mountain and see close up the glaciers, Mt Cook and Mt Tasman. So memorable, a true life memory. read ess

Big shout out to Brad who helped us with our booking and to our awesome pilot Rachel who flew us to the top of glacier with smooth precision, was super friendly and multi-talented (great photographer). Plan to do this soon to support the local businesses and to enjoy a true “local kiwi” experience. Thank you!! read ess

Giant steps are what you take walking on the !!!!!!!

Luckily for us - the tourist season was just kicking back to life in Fox and Franz Josef so not too busy and made for a very unique experience. Terrific pilot - Jarod (pretty sure got name correct - apologies if not) typical Kiwi cousin - happy for a chat and super stealthy in grabbing a quick snap and printing out a souvenir shot for the album.
This is a very worthwhile experience if you are able to do it - bit tight for space in the smaller chopper but they do have a larger one in the shed, first time on one for myself and a great buzz - we both felt like Cheshire Cats and couldn't keep the smiles of our faces. Great service at booking and during the too short trip up and back, would love to do another flight in one of the other highlight areas in NZ - the place has it all in spades or Aces - lucky Kiwi's. read ess

Scott took us up close to a glacier, native forest, valleys, escarpments, river beds, and the ocean. We also saw himalayan tahrs, deers, chamois, hector dolphins, seals, and schools of fish. It was a great flight and we saw views and animals we would never see otherwise. I highly recommend it! read ess
