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

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

We took our 18 month old who loves choppers and he fully enjoyed he whole experience - as did we!!
Staff were all super friendly and pilot was very friendly too. Very informative while flying too and he even followed a chamois on top of the mountain for us all to see.
Definitely recommend! read ess

I booked in advance and kept my fingers crossed that the weather would be kind. We received an email beforehand saying that they didn’t have enough for our flight but asked if it ok to change to another which was only 10 minutes shorter and a bit cheaper, which we were happy to do. We felt very safe, the sun was out and the sky blue - so lucky. We flew over lakes and mountains, including Mount Cook and landed on Fox Glacier - 2 feet of pristine snow. A helicopter ride has always been on my bucket list, but wanted to wait until It was somewhere amazing and this certainly fitted the criteria. Absolutely recommended! read ess

The reason for that is because weather up in the glacier changes very often. My group tried three times in two days before the weather allows us to fly and have a good view. The staff are so friendly and professional, and we feel like we are in such good hands because they are doing their very best to ensure our safety and great experience. They were honest and were ready to refund us the money if we can't fly due to the weather. We are just glad that we could fly and enjoyed the epic experience up in the glacier. More read ess

We had originally booked a Saturday morning flight but, as explained might have been the case right from the start, the weather didn't play ball and we came back on Sunday to have another go.

We then had the benefit of a spectacular day, fantastic views and pristine snow for our landing. Had the benefit of some great pricing due to COVID-19 and feel very lucky to have had the opportunity to see the glacier up close while we still can. 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

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
