Top of the World - Absolutely breathtaking helicopter exploration of the South Island Alps. Never felt rushed, and the landing on a glaciers a highlight. Greg was a great pilot who kept us informed throughout the flight on geology, history and some fun stories. Once in a lifetime experience - I recommend it.

Costly, but truly magnificent experience of a lifetime - I took part in this flight from Glentanner as my booked flights from Franz Josef Glacier all had to be cancelled due to weather conditions. This time I had all the luck in the world: a cloudless sky during the whole flight! The helicopter pilot, Richard, gave plenty of explanation en pointed out many things that we certainly would have missed otherwise in that icy world up there around Aoraki/Mt Cook and the glaciers. We made a landing on a side patch of Fox Glacier to really make you aware of the atmosphere and serenity in the icy world of glacier basins. A truly spectacular and awesome experience if you like the high mountains 🏔️.

Amazing experience - I had an amazing experience with the 55 min helicopter ride, we had to wait for a while due to bad weather but the staff was helpful and booked us on a later ride on the same day. The landing on the snow was just too good and the pilot even helped us with the photographs.

A Must Do Experience - This helicopter ride was absolutely unforgettable. Flying over snow-covered peaks and vast glaciers was breathtaking, and the views just kept getting better. The glacier landing felt surreal and made the experience even more special. Truly a once in a lifetime adventure. This was the best part of our New Zealand Tour.

The best company to do a tour with! - This trip was awesome. Not only bc of the actual trip. The people working there were incredible. Eve and Skye and one other girl at the desk were so kind. Josh, the pilot was a skilled aviator, personable guide, and just a good person. Really personalized the info he gave us. All should be given raises. Thank you! Highly recommended.
