We were not disappointed! Ada and her colleague in the office were fantastic, super friendly, helpful and almost as excited as we were!

We took the 40 minute flight which included a snow landing which was out of this world. Our pilot ensured we had a smooth ride and provided lots of information. The views were purely stunning and we had smiles clued to our faces like small children. Its difficult to find the right words to describe how epic this experience really is. Highly recommended on all counts! Thanks Tekapo Helicopters! read ess

getting to see both the Fox and Franz glaciers so close and landing on one was something I will never forget. Breathtaking views thanks to Rachel our pilot. Thanks Mike for organizing our flight and our Franz Joseph experiences. We had an amazing two days in Franz and will come back again.

If you haven't been to Franz Joseph yet - go soon and enjoy read ess

A really calming, patient and knowledgable guide. Highly recommend doing the 40 minute tour, although it’s a bit more expensive it was worth every penny. Absolutely breathtaking views. We did a morning flight as recommended and it was really lovely and clear. 10/10 read ess

The guys at Heliservices were awesome, they tried their best to get us up in the air, kept in contact with us if things looked like improving, even offered us a scenic coastal flight but again the weather was not good, we were given a credit which we could keep until we used it or on sell if we wished.
By chance we stopped at Haast on our way to Wanaka and ended up asking directions, turned out it was the Heliservices Hasst base so they said 'give me 20 minutes, I'll warm the helicopter up and take you for flight'.
The kids loved it, first time in a helicopter, out over the Hasst river and up and down the coast line for a bit.
Such a great surprise and really great service.
Even tough we didn't get to see the glacier I couldn't recommend these guys more. read ess

Once up there, clear skies above the glacier and a few dramatic clouds along the cliffs for good measure, created one of the most amazing views!
Being able to land and crawl in the snow for some time while our pilot took a few pics was super cool too 🙂
Overall, a highly recommended experience to top your visit of the west coast! 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.
We would thoroughly recommend the company and their staff for what was a once in a lifetime experience.
Go do it!!! More read ess

Took a longer flight and circled Mt Cook, saw the origin of the Fox and Franz Joseph Glaciers. Could actually see the Tasman Ocean thru the clouds. Landed on a snow field. Excellent pilot, Simon, had a good commentary. Would do again anytime. The highlight of our NZ holiday. read ess

They were very professional, giving a good safety briefing and a fantastic flight up onto the glacier. I'd highly recommend booking in advance to avoid disappointment and if you are in Franz Josef, I would make this a high priority for your trip, it really is a fantastic experience. read ess
