Tour was cancelled due to weather conditions and we were offered a cheaper alternative which we accepted and we got our partial refund 2 weeks later
An exciting experience but scary! Your life is in the hands of the expert pilot. Superb views.
Hi We were seated in the back seat behind the pilot and could hardly get a decent view throughout the flight. I have registered a complaint with your customer care team. Expected a lot more for the price paid! Would only recommend to others if they were able to get a front see in the helicopter.
Had to wait a day because of the weather but well worth it! The front seat helped but it was definitely the trip of a lifetime! The photographs that I took were fantastic and who would have known that a glacier was blue?
The whole tour was amazing to land on the glacier was magic
Excellent. The pilot gave us an experience we will remember for a long long time. If you are going to New Zealand, do not miss this.
We were blessed with the most perfect day imaginable to take our helicopter flight to the top of the Fox Glacier. The sky was a vivid blue and the snow sparkling white. Our flight took us up and over some stunning mountains and glaciers. Our pilot was so friendly and kept us informed as to what we were viewing as he guided the helicopter up to the point where we landed. The flight and the experience of actually walking on a glacier on the most spectacular of days was the HIGHLIGHT of a wonderful ten days we spent travelling around the south island of NZ.
