Once in a life time experience

The people that work for country glaciers are so friendly and accommodating it was awesome to be greeted with passion. Not to mention the ride on the helicopter was spectacular it’s something I will remember for ever the views were out of their world amazing! The landing was safe and well planned out for the best views. I loved my experience I don’t think I’ll ever stop boosting about it. Thanks guys! Great job :)
