Unfortunately our tour was cancelled due to bad weather. Headout acted promptly and provided a full refund within 36 hours. This was such a relief and I would thoroughly recommend Headout for their support and professionalism.

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

This was a phenomenal experience, given the safety briefing and then watched as the helicopter landed. We took off and from start to finish I had a huge smile on my face. We got to see the glaciers and then landed on it, we had beautiful sunshine and the most surreal moment of the peace , beauty and serenity. If you do one trip this I promise will be a memory you will treasure for a lifetime .
