I’d never done a helicopter tour and this one did not disappoint. We did the 20 min one just for Franz Josef which personally I thought was a great amount of time. You land on the glacier itself and get to take photos on there too. read ess

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 weather was changing fast so we had our course changed. We instead saw Fox Glacier and Mt Cook. We landed for as long as we could getting many photos then we took off out of there. As we only landed for a short while (we felt was completely long enough) the lovely team refunded us $85 each! Couldn't recommend this company enough. Thanks so much guys!! read ess

We were told that the weather had been no good for a couple of days and they were unlikely to go that afternoon again. It turned out they didn't get to go that afternoon, but we were told that there might be a chance next morning early. The staff were great in keeping us informed.
We got up early and got our ride. It was fantastic. The pilot handled the helicopter with seemingly great ease and put us down on Franz Josef glacier. The scenery over the two glaciers was fantastic as well as the surrounding mountains.
It is a magic experience and well worth the money even if the budget has to be re-worked. read ess

On clear mornings, these two majestic mountains are my first view from my home, I have always have acknowledged their splendour with much admiration.
It was such an emotional overwhelming feeling came over me as I looked out and saw Aoraki Right there beside me.
Picture yourself standing right there amongst the tall peaks, the many glaciers and the huge ice formations, this is an exhilarating experience all locals should get to do in their life time.
The staff, and particularly our pilot Rachel, were so very professional with all aspects of safety the information we were told as we traveled was of great value.
The spiritual feeling of that flight and being up there will stay with me forever!! read ess

Frankly - I never ever thought my wife and I would be having a snowball fight and snow angel competition on top of a 5500ft mountain with my two under ten year olds. Heliservices were fantastic - I cannot fault them in any way. Thoroughly recommended. Though expensive - my wife and I are 1000% sure it was worth the money for this once in a lifetime experience. read ess
