This flight was incredible, we had as perfect day , no clouds nor wind, so a very smooth experience, up close to the soaring snow peaks and landing on the Tasman glacier was a highlight! Felt very s as fe in our pilots capable hands, and enjoyed this flight immensely.
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.
Our flight got delayed but it was worth the wait. Amazing experience! Highly recommended and our pilot was awesome. Thanks a ton!
This was an awesome experience. I’d recommend it to anyone who is visiting New Zealand.
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.
This was an absolutely incredible experience the receptionist was very friendly and the pilot was very informative and friendly! The views were incredible, we got engaged on the glacier landing ? the pilot was so happy for us and took our pictures which turned out perfect! Well worth the money for this fantastic experience!
My partner & I had the most amazing experience on the scenic flight. The crew were extremely knowledgeable & made the whole trip extremely pleasurable, coupled with the fact they are local to the Glacier made a real difference on there genuine passion for the area. Highly recommend taking the trip it really is a wonderful memorable experience we will never forget.
Great experience
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!
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.
Absolutely fantastic experience to be landing on Franz Joseph glacier.
We were a group of 6 people including our greate guide Anna. Weather was absolutely perfect, without any cloud in the sky. We flew up to the Tasman glacier then we were walking on ice with crampons about two hours and then helicopter picked us on a different spot and we flew back. Anna told us a lot of interesting facts about glaciers and mountains and we felt safe for the whole time. We had many opportunities to make unique photos. Walking wasn't very hard, so it was more relaxing trip. We certainly recommend this experience.
Everything is excellent.
The best experience & Sam the guide was incredible!!
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?).
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
For the extra flight time and views this felt the best value trip. My wife was so thrilled and we are both more than happy to recommend this very friendly and flexible company. Thanks guys.
Our guides Andy & Nick made the tour. It was funny and educational.
It was an awesome experience and very worth doing ! The staff are kind and tell you all about the different types of jade ! Definitely an experience I won't forget !
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 team were awesome from start to finish. Great family business, a real personable feel. Well done!
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!
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.
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
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!
Incredible views and amazing experience.
Spellbinding flight over the glacier and onto the mountains - highly recommended.
Cool!!!
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.
