It was a great experience. We had a lot of time taking picture with the helicopter BUT when we trying to take picture with the ski plane , the pilot rush us and say no time ( cos he arrived quite late that’s why we got a long time taking picture at the helicopter ) and he doesn’t even help passenger up the seats , a bit not so polite else the whole experiences should have been a whopping

This was undoubtedly one of the highlights of our New Zealand adventure. The views of Mount Cook and the surrounding area were simply stunning. Our pilot was incredibly informative and helped ease the nerves of his passengers. To land on the glacier and to spend some time simply taking in the extraordinary scale of it was special. I can’t recommend this trip highly enough to anyone lucky enough to visit the area.

Had our flight delayed one day due to weather. We then got the most perfect morning clear sky and hardly a breeze. Lucky to get a free upgrade to a 45min Tasman Glacier landing flight. Boy was this something to remember.

I rescheduled my flight super easy via phone. Couldn't happen on the arranged day due bad weather. Got new one for the next morning. And it happened. Our pilot was great and gave us super background information. I had the front seat which was great. Was my first ever helicopter flight, but surely not the last one. Highly recommend the trip. The landing on the Glacier was unreal. Absolut perfect day.

This has to be the highlight of the past 15 months I’ve spent in this country. I couldn’t stop smiling! The staff are very professional and put your comfort above everything else. If they need to get another helicopter, they’ll do it, no question. It was my first time in a helicopter and first time over the twin glaciers. I had the best time! Thanks again!

As a couple, we wouldn't normally spend so much on an 'experience', but felt this was pretty unique. It certainly didn't disappoint ! Our hosts, Poppy and Ross were so friendly and professional, I didn't have any nerves about the flight. It really is the best way to see the glacier and amazing landscape up close. Highly recommend to all.

We had the most amazing experience! Our tour guide Jara was amazing; he was very knowledgeable about trees (challenging us to quiz him on any kind we saw!) and rocks (explained all about the formations and even pointed out where fault lines were). He was very into guiding us, which in turn, made us very into the tour! Such a positive experience and hope to return one day and do the heli-hike they run, too! Loved that we got to borrow all of the gear. Must do! Thank you, Jara + Team!!

A Great day out in Franz Josef

A great time to be hold especially if you get their back stage pass. Will worth the money as it goes to the Kiwi & Tuatara. Once you done the back stage part it easy to spend plenty off time with the rest of the activities . Spend about 1/2 hour trying to see the kiwis, but they are there you just need to be patient and stands still to find them.
