Stunning views! - This tour was amazing! The conditions on our tour date were very windy, so the operator contacted us to move our tour earlier in the day. We got a bonus stop for our efforts! Beautiful flight over the Dart River and up onto a glacier. Touched down and were able to get out and walk around in the snow and admire the stunning views. Then flew down into a valley with tons of water fall. Hung out there a bit, then back. Our pilot was great with information and answering questions. He rotated the seating on the different legs so everyone got a chance to ride up front with the best view. What an incredible way to enjoy the scenery.

Awesome trip to a glacier and Earnslaw Burn - Awesome trip to a glacier and then onto Earnslaw Burn. Earnslaw Burn is just stunning and we spend at least 10 minutes just staring at it in awe. Definitely put Earnslaw Burn on your to do list before it goes entirely in another few years. We stopped on a glacier as well which was really special. Would definitely recommend to dona trip with heli glenorchy
