Real highlights, tips, and the helpful advice straight from Bookme customers who’ve actually done this experience.
Amazing, awesome, wonderful, great, top 11 (out of 10) of all the experiences in my life, till now ... i want to repeat, jajajaja Thanks to Simon, the pilot, who seemed relaxed & very confident ;))) + the helicopter had glass windows underneath so we could see a wider perspective
Professionally well run organisation from the front desk to the pilot. We thoroughly enjoyed our glacier flight and scenery.
This team are great; despite weather issues that made the national press they did everything possible to get us in the air for a truly fabulous experience. A real MUST.
My partner and I did the 30min flight and snow landing, it was amazing and an excellent well worth it way to see the glaciers. The snow was really fresh and powdery! We were in their new helicopter which can fit 6 people and was great to look out of!

Unbeschreibliches Erlebnis
Es war unbeschreiblich. Ich bin immer noch sprachlos. Unser Pilot Josh hat uns so nah an die Gipfel gebracht und das hoch fliegen über das Eis vom Franz Josef… dann über die Gipfel, hinter denen sich eine neue Welt aufmacht… bis hin zur Landung auf dem Tasman Gletscher. Es war nicht unser erster Heliflug aber definitiv der beeindruckendste. Für uns ein Erlebnis, das man nicht missen darf.
