Took our young kids on this flight and it was great to have a shorter option than most available, as we werent sure how they would react (the kids!). Great pilot and of course the beautiful views :)
The ride was short as expected, but long enough to get a good close up view of the glacier, with its spectacular crevasses and fractured and melting blue ice. The trip is highly weather dependent - the flight after us was canceled because the clouds were getting too low. The pilot was very skilled and gave good commentary, although we struggled to understand a lot of what he said. Not sure if it was the accent or speaking too fast - the headphone audio quality seemed ok. Recommended!

The flight that never flew
We booked this trip a week ahead. But unfortunately they needed a min of 3 pax. There were only 2 of us. We waited around a bit hoping that a 3rd person would turn up. But we were not fortunate enough. The staff werent at their best behaviour either. I called to confirm a day earlier and was told to call back the next day. The next day, when I called to confirm, the staff who attended to us was not helpful either. He merely said that they needed 3 people but refused to give us any advice or confirmation on whether we should wait for the flight would be cancelled.
