From the moment we checked in we were met by friendly staff. As we were the first flight of the morning, they explained that changes in weather conditions would determine our flight time. Luckily for us we had perfect blue skies, minimal wind and crisp snow. Our pilot was informative and ensured all on board had a birdseye view of the sights. Landing on the glacier was unreal. I couldn’t stop taking photos as it was incredible. A special bucket List moment. Highly recommend this company for their professionalism and customer service. read ess

Excellent knowledge of the region and shared it with us in an interesting format. We lucked out as we had joined a party with a longer tour so we got to see even more. Flight up awesome. Hovered at 8000 or so feet to see Alpine Goats. Jamie had us setup to see all there was available. There may be other companies doing similar stuff but this is #1. read ess

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

A must do if you are not ready for glacier hiking, if not, why you come to Franz Josep ? read ess

My wife and I turned up early (we booked 11 am flight) as we checked out of our motel at 10 am. We were the only people flying after 10 (2 flights went out earlier) so we requested 1030 flight (which was kindly approved). The day was sunny and clear; and the whole experience was unbelievable.

First off, the service and friendliness of Kevin (front desk) and Toby (pilot) were of the highest standard. They made us welcomed and explained everything carefully throughout our whole trip. As it was only the 2 of us, we were both seated up front with Toby so we could both have the best view and the view was amazing. It was just spectacular and Toby was really good at guiding us through the flight plus he was very gentle on the flight pattern. We then got 10 minutes of time on the ice up Fox Glacier and he was very good at photo-taking too. The whole experience was amazing and if you are able to do it, this is a must do!! You will not regret coming with this company. read ess

We took the shorter (20 minute) flight with mountain top landing in case I didn't feel comfortable. It was absolutely fantastic and I immediately wanted to go on another helicopter flight, this time to Franz Josef and Fox Glaciers. Our pilot, Simon was very informative and the flight was smooth and not as scary as I expected. The views were breathtaking - I can't describe how wonderful it feels to land on the mountain top and gaze at the beautiful scenery. I would thoroughly recommend this! read ess
