Pilot Choice is the perfect choice!
We had an incredible experience on the helicopter tour to see the glaciers, and it was truly one of the best adventures I've ever had. The 35-minute flight was just perfect to take in the breathtaking scenery from above. The highlight was definitely the glacier landing, which allowed us to get up close and personal with the stunning icy landscape. The pilot was exceptionally skilled and made the entire journey smooth and safe, while also providing fascinating commentary throughout. I highly recommend this chopper ride for anyone looking for an unforgettable experience with spectacular views and expert guidance.

Awesome experience but the staff ....
We had an amazing helicopter flight — the experience was incredible and the views were unforgettable. We were especially excited and grateful that we were able to land at 6,000 meters. It was truly a highlight of our trip. The only downside was the attitude of one of the staff members (no names needed) (BRIE). Her behavior came across as unnecessarily rude, not just towards us but also towards an older couple who simply didn’t understand her instructions. It felt unprofessional and didn’t match the quality of the rest of the experience. Overall, the flight itself was fantastic, but the customer service from that particular staff member could definitely be improved. Would have been 5 stars without the rudnes of brie

Great experience
My initial flight could only be partially fulfilled so I was given the option to go ahead or move my booking to the following day. So glad I did as the experience was incredible. Friendly check in staff, shuttle drivers and the pilot really made the experience. The views were amazing so I’d highly recommend this activity whilst in the fox glacier area!
