Great activity for both beginners and experienced riders. If you know what to do you can canter while beginners are safe behind with an instructor. Amazing feeling to be back at the saddle. Stunning views and opportunity for perfect photos with a glacier at the background. Can highly recommend it ;)
Well organised, life changing incredible experience. You've not lived until you've fallen from a plane at terminal velocity.
Exhilarating jump,mesmerizing freefall and spectator views. The crew is awesome from ground staff to the pilot and Peter the Tandem Master is super cool. Thank you Inflte for an incredible experience. See you next time on 20000F.
A sunny October day for quad biking. A party of 9, Dora and her 8 followers all with differing experience on quads. No prior experience required, jus t the minimum starting confidence, as Dora puts you through some learning first and as your confidence grows, so does the experience ramp up. An easy start, then tracks through the forest and down onto the river bed with some river fording thrown in. Full wet gear provided enables you to finish clean and dry. A much enjoyable fun time out. We would definitely do it again. Cheers Dora.
Must try. Way different from other quad bike adventures across the country.
Really informative and inspiring
We were so lucky to get the opportunity to do this. Perfect weather. Awesome views during the flight and nothing can compare to landing on Fox Glacier. Would definitely do it again!
Good expérience ! Very professional and funny
Even only 20 minutes ride but has a great time fly over the mountain seeing the glacier and landing on the white snow mountain site. Was a wonderful experience to remember. The service was good and the front desk customer service trying their best to arrange our ride even on that day we arrived the helicopter not able to fly due to cloudy weather, made two attempt rescheduled to fly on that day and finally only the 3rd attempt in the next morning the weather favor us to fly to the mountain. The pilot was great & skilfull, not only flying the helicopter but did help us to took a few snap during the landing. To those who wish to ride/fly, recommeded to try this Helicopter agency.
It was an amazing experience! A big thank you to Happy Andy for taking us safely. My kids and I enjoyed it thoroughly. Highly recommend it!
We are lucky that the weather is so nice, the sky is clear and so blue. The glacier is very wonderful. Everything is so cool.???
Wow! What an absolutely fantastic place to take a helicopter ride. The scenery is absolutely picturesque and landing on top of the mountain just feels like you’re in another world. The staff were all extremely friendly and professional and made the experience that much more enjoyable. Mum and I absolutely loved this and we couldn’t recommend it any more highly!
Great company and the staff were prompt gave us indications when we could go or not due to weather. I’d definitely recommend doing the twin glacier with snow landing as so much to see and awesome to land on the snow! Enjoyed it very much. Pilot was experienced and friendly. Would go again in the winter time!
We flight at 1pm for the twin glaciers with landing. It was awesome, great pilot and nice staff. Highly recommend
Had to cancel original booking as too cloudy - they rebooked us first thing next day as priority. Weather perfect/ Chris our pilot perfect/Fox and Franz Joseph perfect. Had loads of time on Franz Joseph to take pics. Saw Mt Cook and Tasman clearly AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME ...... don’t dither DO IT ......
Amazing experience, very friendly staff, our pilot Andrew was great.
An amazing experience with perfect weather on the day we landed on the Franz Josef glacier. Our pilot Victor was great and very helpful, assisting us with taking our photos after we landed. Unfortunately the staff at the Helicopter Line office were rude and had also overbooked our initial flight so we needed to reschedule for the following day.
Our flight was postponed due to the weather. Staff changed it smoothly without hassle. With the price in here, worth to grab if you want to land on snow plus a few minutes of flight around.
Awesome experience. Dan (pilot) was fantastic and very informative and the check in staff were great too. Highly recommended.
It was definitely worth the money. It’s a completely different view from the top. The pilot was also very nice and explained a little bit during the helicopter flight.
We flew with a pilot named Chris and he was amazing. The whole experience was beyond enjoyable!! Highly recommend. Thank you thank you thank you!
This experience was genuinely one of the best things I’ve ever done in my life. The weather played a role and we weren’t able to go to the fox glacier on the day, but we still managed to go all around franz josep and land on the glacier for some time. And after that, the rain and wind came in, so we were the last flight for the day - magic! Our pilot was lovely and indulged all my tourist tendencies with my photos :) and he was very knowledgeable about the glacier itself, which made the ride even more interesting. The team at helicopter line were superb - very friendly and helpful and made the whole experience just a joy from start to finish. Couldn’t recommend this enough - you will not regret it
Amazing ride Andrew was informative and guided us well and to top that we got an upgrade ???
I was worried when we arrived since the front desk staff didn’t seem very happy for us to be there but then Tanner arrived to take us to the helicopter and he was very friendly. Next we met Sam, our pilot, who was also great! He made the short trip really enjoyable and informative and the helicopter ride was very fun! I would definitely do it again!
An amazing experience. Yes it’s super touristy with many helicopters flying but to be able to fly over and land on the glacier next to rainforest is a unique thing to do. We loved it! And we very lucky with the weather as cloud came down after grounding helicopters and the next day it’s pouring with rain. Don’t hesitate. Do it!
Amazing flight great pilot knew he’s stuff would definitely recommend this
What an awesome thing to do. Beautiful sight from the air and a great landing on the glacier.
Such a wicked experience!! Could not rate this trip more. Was such a beautiful day, and we had a smooth flight up with the pilot and enough time on the glacier to take plenty of photos. Was an amazing view and super cool to see up close like that. Customer service from these guys was also 10/10!!! Thank you for the awesome experience.
Amazing! We were very blessed to have perfect weather. From the service at the front desk to our pilot Mike who took us up to the top of the mountain, the whole experience was awesome and the ride was very surreal. Definitely recommend this if you’re ever in Franz Josef. My family loved it and want to do this again when we come back.
Words cannot really describe the thrill of standing on the Glacier and seeing how huge and white it is. The helicopter ride is awesome...You can see waterfalls and the cracks in the ice on the journey up plus alpine huts etc. Pilots and ground crew are experienced and knowledgeable. Treat yourself!
Absolutely loved it!
We absolutely loved this trip. A must do in a life time
We did the twin glacier flight - what an amazing experience. We loved it. Friendly staff, professional pilot and simply awesome landscape. The landing on the ice was really special. Do it, you won’t regret it.
Lucked out with the weather. Absolutely stunning. This is my 3rd ride over the glaciers and by far the best. Highly recommend
