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

The weather was changing drastically because they were expecting a cyclone which seems like a pretty regular thing so all flights were cancelled that day. We didn’t want to stay in Franz for another day to wait out and based on the suggestion, we decided to head south and loop back to tekapo on our last few days to try our luck again on helicopter. Both Tekapo Helicopter and Air Safari were our top choices but eventually we went with Tekapo because the lady were very helpful on the phone to make the arrangement for us. Highly recommend to take the grand tour on helicopter just for the experience, don’t go for less 🙂

P/S: you can’t bring any bags onto the copters so only a camera with you. They would also try to squeeze in 6 people if there are some folks who are smaller in size so just be aware the space is quite tight and they would rotate you beside front and back seats and shuffle you on the back so it’s not all bad view. Just make sure you speak out or ask for a swap in seating after landing on the pad above the peak. 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

Discreetly weighed for seating arrangements.Well organised in the office with maps etc on the walls to show the route. Josh was a great guide pointing out places of interest in the stunning landscape and we felt totally safe in his care. We could not land in the usual place, I think, due to bad weather but put down on the Shelf which was a spectacular experience. Overall worth the expense for the Twin glacier trip as it was over half hour. Josh took a great photo of us up there and also posed with me, bonus! Wonderful experience would recommend it to any traveller. More 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!

MUST GO. RECOMMENDED! read ess
