Brilliant flight. Great operators. From the time we arrived at the helipad till we left. We even got to see thar near the top of the mountains. Highly recommended.

Thanks for the review Derryn, glad you go to see some of our local tahr! They thrive in the hills here but can be harder to spot at certain times of the year.

A Must Do - Glacier Country Heli Trip
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.

Awesome experience
Wife and I took this ride to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary. Pilot took photos while I surprised my wife by asking her to be my wife for the next 25 years with a ring. Breathe taking views all the way. Needs to be experienced.

Congratulations again to you both and thank you for flying with us!

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!
