6 passengers in the chopper - 2 in the front with the pilot who had great views of everything then 4 in the back - 2 of those people got a window seat with views and then another 2 people jammed in the middle and not really able to see anything. Yes I was that unlucky person jammed in the middle.
I've done multiple heli tours over the word and this was the only tour where seats weren't rotated to give everyone a fair chance to see things. I understand weight distribution etc. but again, rotating seats has never been an issue in any of my previous experiences and I don't think its fair that I had to pay the same price as someone sitting in the front or at the window, I saw hardly anything. I was squished into the middle and felt as though I couldn't even take photos as I was reaching over others (strangers) to do so.
I did enjoy being out of the chopper up on the mountain, the snow/ice scenery was gorgeous.
Extremely disappointing tour overall since the main reason I chose this was to SEE the glacier and will be suggesting people try other companies
