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!

Nice but expensive
La experiencia estuvo bien y la piloto fue agradable. Sin embargo, durante la excursión imprimen una foto que te la venden a 50$. No tiene sentido que impriman la foto si luego la van a romper. Por otro lado, aunque la experiencia es interesante, me pareció caro para el tiempo que fue.
