So my wife and I arrived late to Franz Joseph the day we did it and felt compelled to take a helicopter ride. We walked around Franz Joseph and two lovely gentlemen at HeliServices were willing to help us for a flight that departed ten minutes later - It was also the last flight out for the day! We felt so lucky and got an excellent view of the glaciers up close. Our helicopter driver allowed us plenty of time and helped us take pictures. Amazing experience. Thank you guys for making our honeymoon special! 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

When we turned up at the office the super helpful Dan took our payment and ran us through a safety briefing. He gave us a great insight about the area in and his interests in firewood and artillery. After that we were then driven out to the hangar where our immaculately presented helicopter was awaiting. My wife was estatic. Once on board (this was our first time in a helicopter) it was very smooth and the views were spectacular! We did the number 5 flight and were glad we did as we saw everything there was on offer in the area including Mt Cook and west coast glaciers. We landed in the snow and got some pictures and had a chat to our pilot jeff who pointed out and named mountains and local fauna. On the way back the views of the Mackenzie basin were amazing. I would recommend this trip to anyone as it's the best way to see the mountains and glaciers and a snow landing was a highlight. 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

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
