Scott put us in the perfect spot and our guide couldn't have been more helpful. Stress free flight and two happy hunters with an animal each.
Highly recommend flying with Haast heli. read ess

The view and scenery was totally worth it! ALTHOUGH sometimes they require a minimum number of people to fly even if you have already booked the tour, so we were glad that someonelse joined in the last minute so we were able to fly. I recommend checking that with them before you confirm. 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

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

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

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
