Awesome experience. Dan (pilot) was fantastic and very informative and the check in staff were great too. Highly recommended.
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.
Speechless. It was so wonderful!
Went down to the Fox Glacier office in the afternoon before our scheduled flight the next day, and was offered a flight right away. So up we went for a amazing flight up the Fox Glacier and right around Mt. Cook, because the cloud was down over Franz Josef. It was great the we could go a day early and modify the flight to suit conditions. We all really enjoyed the flight and commentary. Poured the next day with no flights
A must do in NZ whether your visiting or a local like us ! We are so happy with our experience amazing views everywhere you look. This experience is weather dependent and if they fill the flight so I recommend staying in Franz Josef or fox glacier.
We booked at 3PM but the staff allowed us to join 1PM flight then they could fulfill the flight capacity and we did not have risk from 3PM flight cancellation on unmet minimum flight capacity. While I was there, they allowed only to fly from Fox. There was no flight from Franz Josep anymore so I needed to change my plan to Fox earlier to catch the flight even I booked Franz Josep. Stunning view during the flight for both Glaciers in departure and returning. The snow landing on Mt Cook was magnificent. we landed on fresh snow with clear blue sky. 10 minutes there was worth.
First time ever in a helicopter, and it was amazing! We had a small 5 person helicopter, and it was so agile. We also had a perfect day for this acitivity, which is the highlight of our NZ visit
The views were absolutely amazing! A great experience - thanks to great staff
the view is so stunning plus the weather is nice. very friendly staff and pilot.
Was great to meet this amazing people and have a great experience. They gave us enough time and took time to explain and answer all our questions. Very caring and genuine. Was a great ride and experience must do it.
Land on the top of the mountain to enjoy the amazing view. Really a fantastic experience, must try and you will not regret, is worth!
An extraordinary experience! Many thanks Nathan and Kirsty for taking such amazing care of our family. With three teenage boys you certainly presented us with truly magnificent memories for a lifetime. We loved your commentary throughout the trip, with a perfect mix of facts and interesting information to appeal and maintain the interest of the adolescent brain. We are also very grateful for the personalized nature of the trip! We will be sharing this amazing experience and your very impressive service with friends and family and shouting out to the world a truly extraordinary experience! Many thanks
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!
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
Second time on the Fox Glacier with this company. Ryan our Glacier guide was friendly, informative and caring. A must do tour.
Very exhilirating! Must do! Worth every penny! Great friendly knowledgeable staff!
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!!
Fully recommend this and our guide Nathan was amazing and made sure we got to experience everything to the fullest.
Amazing, pilot Cody was awesome, the girls in Franz Josef office went out of their way to help. Top notch customer service. Would highly recommend.
Great company. Very caring and helpful staff. A great experience flying to the glacier. Highly recommend this company
This was amazing! I Highly recommend the whole experience ! The staff are really helpful and nice and the view is just amazing !
Wonderful helicopter experience with spectacular views, brilliant pilot commentary and great fun stopping on the glacier. With bookme discount it an amazing product and price!!!
Fantastic, I was worried 20 minutes would be too short but it was absolutely great. Worth every penny!
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!
Will deffinetly recommend to everyone.Breathtaking viwes?
We had a wonderful experience from start to finish and highly recommend this trip to everyone :)
The helicopter flight was great and we enjoyed every minute. It was well organized, thank you for this great memory!
A fantastic scenic & snow landing! Would do it again on a heartbeat 💗 Thank you Glacier Helicopter x
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!
We are very excited for it. However the weather was cloudy and we were not able to land and walking on the glaciers. So the staff said we need contact with you for claiming a refund. Please do it for me. Thank you.
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.
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.
