Amazing! After staying overnight in Haast we came across Haast Helicopters and having missed out on a helicopter trip over the... read more glaciers, we decided to take a short tour down the coast. 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

'Simply the Best' We stayed in Haast en route from Wanaka to Franz Josef. On the morning of our departure we decided to... read more see what Haast Heliserviceshad to offer. We were very warmly greeted and the options were clearly explained to us. We fancied a glacier flight but we didn't want the 'industrial' scale operations found for Fox and Franz Josef. What we got was an extraordinary, memorable and wonderful experience. My wife and I flew with pilot Scott in the smaller of the two modern aircraft that are on offer. Our trip high above the Haast Pass gave superb views of Mt. Cook and Mt. Tasman but stunning close up views of the pristine glaciers atop Mt. Dechen. Scott flew us expertly and with great local expertise and knowledge. The whole experience felt personal and bespoke in an area where glacier flights are an industry in themselves.

I urge anyone considering glacier flights in this part of New Zealand to look beyond the highly publicised Fox and Franz Josef options. Visit these guys in Haast because they are SPECIAL!! No recommendation is high enough and we came away just thrilled by our time above this World Heritage Area in the company of Scott.

The pilot was professional and all safety regulations followed. The helicopter was clean and seemed to work perfectly.

The commentary was informative and chatting with both the pilot and 'trainee' being very approachable and knew their 'stuff'. Would recommend to anyone that this is the trip of a life-time.

Although we did not do a similar flight from Franz or Fox (the wind was too high) but I think we got the better deal. We flew over both glaziers and landed on the Neve of Fox as well as flying around Mt Cook. read ess
