The helicopter flight was excellent - well worth doing. The Helicopter Line crew were professional, and the flight wet too quickly. It was great landing on the Glacier- we had a beautiful sunny day. Plan your trip for the morning as the weather appears to turn for the worst after midday.
We were lucky with the weather which was perfect and the views were astounding, our pilot Richard was very informative with his knowledge of the ares and the flight was very comfortable. The experience was very enjoyable.
The most amazing experience our family has had! Worth every.single.cent! Wish we had taken the longer trip.
If travelling to the South Island in New Zealand, be sure to take a flight to the glaciers from Franz Josef. A great little town and amazing scenery.
Unfortunately we struck bad weather and were only able to do a 10 minute flight of one glacier Franz Josef and weren't able to land. Otherwise fabulous!
