They were in awe of the Franz Josef glacier just as much as we were. The landing on the top is the highlight and I felt we had ample time to take photos and play in the snow. Such a great family experience. An expensive 20 minutes but absolutely worth it, would totally recommend! read ess

The lady on reception was very helpful,without being pushy. 10 mins after arriving at the office we were in a small helicopter flying down the coast seeing dolphins and seals. Absolutely fantastic. The icing on the cake was on landing we were taken through the back door of the office to see a little mountain goat, which had just been rescued, sitting on the desk! read ess

I booked in advance and kept my fingers crossed that the weather would be kind. We received an email beforehand saying that they didn’t have enough for our flight but asked if it ok to change to another which was only 10 minutes shorter and a bit cheaper, which we were happy to do. We felt very safe, the sun was out and the sky blue - so lucky. We flew over lakes and mountains, including Mount Cook and landed on Fox Glacier - 2 feet of pristine snow. A helicopter ride has always been on my bucket list, but wanted to wait until It was somewhere amazing and this certainly fitted the criteria. Absolutely recommended! read ess

Whilst there it was our 44th wedding anniversary so to celebrate we treated ourselves to an hour long helicopter ride. The staff were extremely friendly. Our pilot Simon was very pleasant and very knowledgeable. The flight was over and all around Mount Cook Tasman and over Franz Joseph, fox and Tasman glaciers as well as around the lakes. The views were amazing the weather was perfect. We landed on the highest helipad in NZ at 8000 ft had our photos taken with Mt Cook in the background. We were so lucky it was an incredible day. Thankyou Tekapo Helicopters. Moira and Trevor Wright read ess

If you have limited time, do not have the right gear or can't face the 1.5 to 2 hr walk to come 400 to 500 meters from the terminal face...this trip is for you!

We booked the 30 min Fox/Franz fly over with Mount Cook views and a landing on Franz.

From the minute we called at 8am to arriving at The Alpine Adventure Centre, we were met with friendly and enthusiastic staff.

We arrived around 2.5 hours early from Greymouth and they kindly allowed us on the earlier flight - they must of sensed our excitement.

Bill was such a smooth and safe pilot but that didn't mean a boring ride...oh no! A wonderful, steep ascent over the mountains and gradual turns over the glaciers made the ride exhilarating!

I don't want to add spoilers here, please just book this trip, don't beat yourself up about the cost, just do it and worry about it later...it is worth every cent!

The commentary was brilliant but the views will literally take your breath away. Deep cracks with blue ice, formations that look straight out of a Sci-Fi movie and the snow, brilliant white snow!

When the flight came to the end it didn't feel too short but obviously you don't want it to come to an end.

If you don't want to hike on the glacier or walk to it, do not miss out on this bucket list experience.

I am writing this from my hotel and wondering how I will sleep tonight as I am still buzzing 5 hours later! read ess
