They were very friendly, safe and informative. Well worth the money!

Our guides Andy & Nick made the tour. It was funny and educational.

Our first trip got cancelled due to low lying cloud, so flew the following and had an absolute bluebird! Well run company, organized, would have been nice to fly a little further or over the glacier before or after the hike just to really take in how big it truly is! Tom our glacier leader was incredible, very enthusiastic

Definately one of the best tours we have ever done while travelling. Staff are top notch, big thanks to our guide Ben who kept up the enthusiasm all afternoon and took us to some cool places off the beaten track (anyone wanna squeeze through a cravesse?).

The best experience & Sam the guide was incredible!!

Everything is excellent.

Absolutely fantastic experience to be landing on Franz Joseph glacier.

One of those once in a lifetime experience. Such, beautiful ,amaxing,diverse scenery.Its awe inspiring.You get such a view of the grandeur of the glacier from the helicopter. Truly incredible.

Pilot, Jay, was amazing and knowledgeable. Was out of this world experience. Everything about this company is 5 stars. Couldn't fault them. Best experience. A must do and definitely recommend this company to do it with.

The most amazing experience and a must do if you come to Franz Josef. Really can’t see the glacier much from the ground unless you do a 6hr hike. This flies over the top and then lands on the snow- it was absolutely incredible. A really experienced pilot and amazing ground crew. Can’t recommend this enough. Be aware that this activity Is weather dependent so book it early in your stay. The office were great in keeping us informed and rescheduling when it was too cloudy to fly. We were so fortunate to fly on a perfect day - Thankyou so much.

Booked for the 25 min and got upgraded free of charge to a 60 min one. Our pilot was friendly and knowledgeable and the views were incredible

Fantastic crew, all knowledgeable, and very friendly. Was an amazing flight, and time on the top 👍

Incredible views and amazing experience.

This company was brilliant. Megan contacted us prior to ask if we could amend our flight time due to imminent cloud cover so we left on an earlier time slot. Dion was our pilot who had a wealth of knowledge and made the flight the most memorable amazing experience ever! Our snow landing was spectacular- we were able to take lots of photos, play in the snow, made snow angels and snow balls etc! This has been the highlight of our holiday so far- thank you Glacier Country Helicopters

The team were awesome from start to finish. Great family business, a real personable feel. Well done!

Whole experience seamless from booking to check in to the actual unreal flight.

We had a great time, 35 min were perfect to see Franz Josef, Fox Glacier, Mt Tasman and even Mt Cook! The snow landing was really cool, we had enough time to take some pictures and enjoy the snow :) Highly recommend!

C’était vraiment génial. Le personnel est super gentil, on a pu avoir les explications de sécurité en français. Le glacier est vraiment magnifique, c’est une expérience inoubliable ! Le temps passé sur le glacier est trop court, ça passe trop vite. Mais je recommande vivement !

Penny is an amazing pilot and tour guide. Entire outfit is so well run. Absolutely a great experience. Loved seeing the Southern Alps & glaciers from above. Penny shared so much info about all we could see. Lucked out with perfect weather. So surprised how warm it was up on the glacier. Shared ride with 4 others, everyone was very satisfied (6 total in the heli) Worth every penny. Just book it!

Awesome experience and very worthwhile. It was the highlight of the West Coast road trip for both families that flew. Service and communication from Glacier Country Heli was excellent. They were very flexible and proactive in moving our booking around to suit the weather window. Well done, top job. Absolutely fantastic flight and experience. Highly recommended! Would do it again in a heartbeat. The kids are still raving about it.

Worth every $. Lovely family run operator. This is a great experience flying up over the glacier and having 5 minutes stop on a level snow covered area before returning to base. Would thoroughly recommend.

We booked this flight for my husband's birthday on 8 January 2023. All of the staff at Glacier Country Helicopters were exceptional and safety standards were very high. We liked the fact that it was a family owned business. Never having been on a helicopter flight before we were all a little nervous but very excited. Weather was amazing so we were very lucky. It was an amazing experience flying in a small aircraft to these huge natural wonders and to land on it was just unbelievable. Only negative was the short amount of time we had to spend up there because once we got there it was a surreal experience. You have to do this flight regardless of the cost as it really is a once in a lifetime experience. It was great to get the discounted rate through bookme.com so we could then budget for other wonderful experiences.

Awesome

Spellbinding flight over the glacier and onto the mountains - highly recommended.

Cool!!!

Stunning views, easily the best way to see the true beauty of this part of the world

Highly recommend using Glacier Country Helicopters. We had such an awesome time and were happy to support a locally owned family business. Thanks 😄

Absolutely brilliant experience! Weather was closing in fast so the pilot had to make an alternative plan for us, but we flew over the rainforest and up to land on Shackleton Glacier, then flew on over Franz Josef. Awe inspiring sight! One off the bucket list, would highly recommend. Worth every penny!

This was one of the highlight of my trip. Highly recommend it! It was once in a lifetime experience crossing the magnificent mountain range and fly above the glaciers. Our pilot Dion was amazing as well! It was a such a smooth fly. Weather was amazing as well.
