It was one of the best things we've done in our travel life,Ken the pilot was so informative and was very helpful getting us in and out of the helicopter when we landed on the glacier

Great experience. Pilot was very good and gave a running commentary. Ground staff were very helpful moving our flight to a time later in the day when we could definitely be able to land on the snow

Flying in a helicopter for the first time was an experience in itself, but being able to see those mighty glaciers from above and even land on one and stand on it was magical!! 🤩😍

Everyone from the driver, check-in staff and pilot was extremely friendly & accommodating. This was my first time flying in a helicopter and I was so high on life after. I believe this is what we call blissful equanimity - such a meditative but also elating feeling. I appreciated the pilot's commentary as well. Kind of regret that I didn't dare to go straight for the heli hike, but hey - something for next time!
