Excellent Experience
This is a flight we should have done years ago! Amazing scenery seen from a unique perspective. Very well organised and flexible enough to contact us and move the flight time forward to take advantage of a break in the weather. Jay the pilot was very knowledgeable - he summed up the prevailing conditions on takeoff and tailored the flight to ensure optimum landing site and viewing sequence of glaciers and mountains. Like the rest of the team, he was also very friendly and happy to answer any questions we raised. Highly recommended!

Thanks for the photos & review Robert, and for being flexible to make the most of the day! An hour can really make a difference in the weather here.

After my original booking was postponed due to rain, Megan was very helpful in re-booking me for a couple of days later - which turned out to be perfect weather for the flight. Jay (the pilot) was informative and gave us plenty of time on the snow and in the air. Ngā mihi.
