Loved it!
Was the highlight of our South Island tour. Pilot gave us a great commentary throughout the flight. Would highly recommend this as a South Island must do!

What a difference a day can make, Clear skies
After missing out on our planned flight day due to the bad West coast weather (heavy rain all day), we were so lucky to be leaving late in the next morning which meant we were able to reschedule, and how much difference a day can make, clear blue skies & no wind, perfect weather for a scenic flight. Great flight over the Fox & Franz Josef glaciers and a great view of Mt Cook (from the western side). Sad to see how much the glaciers have retreated, but an awesome adventure.
