Absolutely fantastic! Not only to ride in a helicopter but up into the glacier with a snow landing. It seemed cloudy from the ground but the pilot found his way through a hole in the cloud and we were in a different world of snow, ice and blue skies! Even so we sadly couldn't get to Mt Cook but that don't detract one iota. An unmissable experience. I'd result do it again and again...

The size of the glacier was far larger than we ever expected. The views and scenery were beautiful. Weather was outstanding. Couldn't wish for anything more. Brilliant trip which everyone should do. To top it all our pilot Paul was extremely friendly, knowledgable and full of useful information . Overall a great experience which we will never forget. Thank you.

My first ever flight in a helicopter and it didn't disappoint! I sat in the front and the view was awe inspiring - I didn't know where to look as the view was stunning all around! Our pilot was fantastic and very informative - he was as excited as we were!!! I would highly recommend this experience as a once in a lifetime way to see the glaciers!!

The helicopter flight over Franz Josef Glacier was truly a highlight of our trip to New Zealand. The views of the glacier and the stunning Southern Alps were absolutely breathtaking. Professional pilot, great commentary, and a safe, relaxed atmosphere. This is a once-in-a-lifetime experience you simply can’t miss. Highly recommended! 🌟

Fantastic from start to finish. The flight to the landing area was epic. Amazing views and great commentary. If you can stretch to the flight which includes the landing on the mountain it is certainly well worth it. Great ground staff too. Very friendly and helpful. Thoroughly recommend the trip.
