Took a longer flight and circled Mt Cook, saw the origin of the Fox and Franz Joseph Glaciers. Could actually see the Tasman Ocean thru the clouds. Landed on a snow field. Excellent pilot, Simon, had a good commentary. Would do again anytime. The highlight of our NZ holiday. read ess

When we turned up at the office the super helpful Dan took our payment and ran us through a safety briefing. He gave us a great insight about the area in and his interests in firewood and artillery. After that we were then driven out to the hangar where our immaculately presented helicopter was awaiting. My wife was estatic. Once on board (this was our first time in a helicopter) it was very smooth and the views were spectacular! We did the number 5 flight and were glad we did as we saw everything there was on offer in the area including Mt Cook and west coast glaciers. We landed in the snow and got some pictures and had a chat to our pilot jeff who pointed out and named mountains and local fauna. On the way back the views of the Mackenzie basin were amazing. I would recommend this trip to anyone as it's the best way to see the mountains and glaciers and a snow landing was a highlight. read ess

It was awesome. The service from the company was professional. Our pilot Bill was an absolute legend, so much knowledge about the area and glaciers. Thank you Bill for taking great care of the group. Would 100% recommend this tour and HeliService in Franz Josef to anyone visiting this beautiful town in South Westland. read ess

We were heading north and first stopped in at Fox. No-one was flying due to cloud cover, and maybe try tomorrow. We couldn't stay overnight, so we were very disappointed. As we went through Franz Josef we stopped just on the remote chance... And yes, they were flying again. Within an hour we were walking to the helicopter. The staff were all friendly and helpful and the safety aspects taken very seriously. The helicopter ride was thrilling, the pilot friendly and professional, and the views! Oh the views... Landing on the glacier was a bonus. It's just one of those things you must do... read ess

Firstly, the customer service was great. The lady at the desk was Australian and was so friendly, the people who put us in the helicopters were also really friendly. The pilots are all great! On my flight there was the pilot who was flying as well as another pilot who must have been co piloting or something, They were both so friendly and happy! I think his name was Steve!! read ess

You will not be disappointed! We booked with another operator one month in advance but got cancelled because of bad weather. We were super lucky to get a slot with HeliServices! They were very professional and had very good service.
The pilot and copilot were very friendly and excellent photographers as well. We had a smooth snow landing in mountain at 4800m high. Super nice view of the glaciers and snow mountain and the pilots let us take our time to take photos!
Really perfect experience!

This is the best kept secret in South Island and not yet popular with tourists. The view was terrific, the ride exciting and safe. We did not know that helicopter rides can be so “addictive” and exhilarating at the same time. Thanks to Ari and Scott, we had a truly memorable time in New Zealand. Highly recommended for all who made the trip to New Zealand. read ess

We took our 18 month old who loves choppers and he fully enjoyed he whole experience - as did we!!
Staff were all super friendly and pilot was very friendly too. Very informative while flying too and he even followed a chamois on top of the mountain for us all to see.
Definitely recommend! read ess
