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

Given the tight timeframe, I opted after hearing positive recommendations to do the twin-glacier flight with a snow landing. I was lucky enough to score a front seat on the first leg, however all the 6 passenger seats on the Airbus chopper have great views. The staff at check-in were so friendly and helpful, and pilots give on overview of the glaciers during the flight via the headsets. We had a great view of both the Fox and Franz glaciers, landing on a mountain top in the snow to experience the mountain air and take more photos.
Well worth the extravagance to fit this trip in I'll never forget it - absolute bucket list thing to do!

Tip: try and book a flight in the morning, the earlier the better. The weather can close in later in the day and morning flights are less likely to be weather affected. More 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

The staff and especially Brooke our pilot were very professional and my wife who was very nervous was put at ease straight away by the professional manner the guys approached the whole experience.

They went out of their way to find another couple to share the trip and this not only saved us a lot of money but we made new friends too. Fantastic trip to Milford Sound and back via a deserted beach where our new friends produced a bottle of sauvignon and 4 cups. Much better scenery than going from Queenstown and a great bunch of people who really care. read ess
