The staff and the pilot were extremely friendly, helpful and went above and beyond. Loads of interesting facts about the places we saw, the pilot helped spotting deer and sprout and even directed the helicopter so we could see the deer better. We landed twice in stunning locations, got amazing pictures taken and back in the office the staff even printed the best picture of us with the heli in the background which the pilot took.

An amazing experience which I'll never forget and I can highly recommend it to everybody who would like a more private flight (we were only the two of us in the heli) and who likes to decide where to go and how long to fly (=how much money to spend) themselves. 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

We did some research on Trip Advisor and it soon became apparent to us that walking to it wouldn’t be as good as flying over it. Our motel suggested Fox and Franz Josef Heliservices and rang them on our behalf to see if they had any seats available. Luck was on our side as well as the weather and there were seats available on a morning flight. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted by the friendly staff. Firstly Brad P was so friendly and helpful ensuring we understood the safety requirements and also helped us on and off the helicopter. Bill, our pilot, made us feel at ease immediately and provided lots of information during the flight, about the glacier. Being able to land on the top and take the most amazing photos was a highlight. If your tossing up whether to do the walk or the flight, don’t think too long and do the flight! It was the most amazing experience that my husband and I have had the privilege to do. To see the most spectacular view so close up was a privilege we will never forget. Thanks to the team, we would highly recommend, absolute value for money. Jo and Wayne, Australia. read ess

Our experienced differed only in that we’d walked in off the street and booked just half an hour prior to take off. We were incredibly lucky with our weather conditions, and had a completely fabulous experience. Brooke was really friendly, professional and informative, and the trip blew us away. Scenery was sensational and it was a real privilege to gain that perspective on the lakes, mountains, glaciers (all 3 of them!) and land that we’d visited and driven at ground level. Not cheap, and we did have to think twice before committing but are so glad that we did. A very memorable morning of our three weeks in South Island and worth every penny. More read ess

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

The reason for that is because weather up in the glacier changes very often. My group tried three times in two days before the weather allows us to fly and have a good view. The staff are so friendly and professional, and we feel like we are in such good hands because they are doing their very best to ensure our safety and great experience. They were honest and were ready to refund us the money if we can't fly due to the weather. We are just glad that we could fly and enjoyed the epic experience up in the glacier. More read ess
