Lake Matheson is a true natural beauty and I'm so glad I visited it through the eco tour. We were a small group of three people and our guide, Rose, was just great! She gave us so many information about the plants and creatures living in the surroundings and was very prepared to answer all our questions. Plus the hot chocolate and cookies in front of the lake was the best way to enjoy the amazing view. I would definitely recommend this trip! :)
Speechless. It was so wonderful!
We had a great day exploring the glaciers. The staff were really helpful. We weren't sure whether to do the 2 heli flights with one 10 min landing or the heli hike. We're so glad we chose the heli hike as it was definitely worth it!
Weather is perfect. If you went on summer, do not wear too much, a T shirt is fine. They will provide you jacket and pants. It’s gonna be so hot when you start walking!!
Second time on the Fox Glacier with this company. Ryan our Glacier guide was friendly, informative and caring. A must do tour.
Fully recommend this and our guide Nathan was amazing and made sure we got to experience everything to the fullest.
From the moment we walked into our safety briefing and were given appropriate clothing our concerns faded and excitement built. Sherpa was an amazing guide with plenty of stories, wicked sense of humour, experience and we felt safe in his hands. We'd never been in a helicopter, let alone on a Glacier. We were truly humbled by nature and the experience. The girls back in the office/shop were so caring for the next group to fly up. With the bad weather moving in and another company cancelling the groups helihike the night before all these wonderful women wanted was for them to have some time on the ice and have that experience. Bravo 👏 👏 what an amazing team you have
We had such a great time. It was well organized and we felt completely safe the entire time. The helicopter flights were quick, but very cool. Our guide was very knowledgeable and fun. We got to explore ice caves and crevasses which were super cool. The company will provide you with proper boots, mitts, socks (all clean), rain jacket and cramp ons. These are included in your tour cost.
Very exhilirating! Must do! Worth every penny! Great friendly knowledgeable staff!
This was amazing! I Highly recommend the whole experience ! The staff are really helpful and nice and the view is just amazing !
The helicopter flight was great and we enjoyed every minute. It was well organized, thank you for this great memory!
What an awesome experience! Would recommend this to everyone
Will deffinetly recommend to everyone.Breathtaking viwes?
The staff at Glacier Helicopters made our experience unforgettable. From the moment we checked in to the moment our flight finished, the experience was just jaw droppingly beautiful! A massive THANK YOU to all the staff and especially our pilot Sam, he is a legend and a geniune nice guy!
WOW is all I can say. Breathtaking views and money well spent. 200% recommendable!!!
Fantastic, I was worried 20 minutes would be too short but it was absolutely great. Worth every penny!
A fantastic scenic & snow landing! Would do it again on a heartbeat 💗 Thank you Glacier Helicopter x
Everyone was so helpful and kind. The weather looked bad for the day I had booked and the staff rearranged my flight for the next day no problem. Beautiful day, friendly and professional staff, awesome experience.
Staff very friendly, short ride from office to the heli pad, beautiful flight up to the glacier and more time on the glacier than anticipated. No other heli near us so it felt like un-touched and pristine landscape. Absolutely one of the best experiences of a life time! A must do for any travelers or Kiwis!
Staff very friendly and lots of knowledge. We had a stunning Bluebird day. Was my first time in a helicopter and a breathtaking experience, the views were stunning, landing on the glacier was amazing. Definitely recommended.
Well organised. Highly recommended. Must do rather than walk! You can’t really see anything from the ground.
This was such an awesome experience you won’t regret doing! Absolutely beautiful and the snow landing was amazing! Great pilot who interacted with us throughout the flight. Definitely do it if your on the fence.
It was all fantastic great weather and a worthwhile and fantastic flught
Such an incredible experience, thank you guys so much for fitting us in and being flexible with the time mess up. A real highlight in our year in new Zealand
This was our first time in a helicopter so it was fun but scary! The scenery above the mountain range was incredible and there was about six inches of fresh snow on the glacier when we landed. The time slot we had booked for was not flying because of the weather but the tour company simply moved us to a later slot on the afternoon and thankfully the weather had cleared by then! This is a great tour for people who want the glacier experience without spending hours tramping over the ice.
This has been one of the most amazing experiences. From Kaitlyn (ground support) to Clark (Pilot) ,they were enthusiastic, genuinely helpful individuals who ensured our flight was safe, informative, and fun. Clark certainly made us feel special and landed us on fresh, untouched snow. Thanks for the unforgettable flight
An unreal experience that allowed us to see the glacier from a different perspective! Our second time doing this and it was just as incredible as the first time round! We recommend this to all our friends that travel to New Zealand. As the pilots say, if you can fly - fly, because you could travel to the West Coast 100 times and never get the chance due to weather. Make the most of the opportunity if it’s there!
We had a wonderful experience from start to finish and highly recommend this trip to everyone :)
