Incredible flight to an awe inspiring site Landing on the glacier was the highlight of our 3-week trip. Unbelievable 360 views. Being an avid lifelong skier, this was awe inspiring. You don't realize just how small you are until you stand on these ice fields. So cool. A must do activity. Watch the movie at the office too - well worth it.

Incredible trip! AWESOME is the one word I'd use to describe the flight. So many breathtaking photos and videos. Mind blowing vista. Best tour we took on the entire trip. Highly recommend.

Amazing view and experience! This is best experience I ever had. I got the twin glacier package which lasted around 30 minutes. The views were AMAZING, you could see mountain peaks you probably never seen before! By the way shout out to Jordey, probably best pilot and cameraman there is. What I thought was the best part was how the pilot flew the helicopter around 15 meters from the glacier, so you got a nice clear view. You could tell the pilots were experiencing because of how smooth they fly. It almost feels like you weren’t in the air if there was no noise.

Some things they could improve on (but still did good on):

Spend a little more time on the glacier- I know it’s risky and expensive but I would be willing to spend a few more for longer time on the glacier.

Not rush at takeoff- the staff were super nice but were really in a rush as they only let you spend around 15 seconds to look at the helicopters.

Switch around seats- I was sitting with my family in the back 4 seats which has an amazing view, but the 2 people at the front got an even better view twice which made me kind of jealous. Still an amazing view!

Even though it was a hefty price the view and flight time made up for it. I would definitely recommend the twin glacier package for its value of money. Only thing that you should watch out for is the weather. I am not saying it’s the company’s fault but we were meant to go at 9:30 am but because of rain and fog it was delayed to 8:30am the next day then delayed again for 1 hour until we got the green light to go.

Best experience ever!! Our glacier helicopter tour was absolutely surreal and hands-down the best experience ever! Originally, we’d planned to take the flight the day before, but bad weather forced a cancellation. Lucky for us, the skies cleared up the next day, and we headed to the check-in centre, where the staff, especially Tanya, made everything smooth and easy.

At 9:30, we were ready to go. From take-off to the snow landing, every moment was jaw-dropping. We did the twin glacier package, and the views were unreal! Jordy, our pilot, was incredibly professional, giving us commentary on each glacier’s story while making the entire experience feel effortless. The snow landing was something out of a dream, he touched down so smoothly you’d think we were landing on a fluffy pillow (even though, spoiler alert, that snow isn’t as soft as it looks).

Jordy didn’t just fly us, he also acted as an unexpected photographer extraordinaire, helping us capture every angle. I swear he has a side gig as an Instagram content creator because he knew all the best angles (we had about 45 photos taken by him). Thanks to Jordy and Tanya, we had an unforgettable adventure. If you’re looking for jaw-dropping views, an epic snow landing, and a pilot who doubles as a glacier photo guru, this is the tour to book!

Fly and land on Glacier Flying over the Franz Josef and Fox Glaciers and landing on the Glacier was an amazing experience and our pilot was knowledgeable about them

Incredible experience! From start to finish this experience was incredible! We went into the store and spoke to Dee who was lovely and so informative. She was able to book us onto a tour the following morning and answer all of our questions. We were then lucky enough to have her husband, Ken, as our pilot the next day! He was amazing and took some great photos of us too. Would definitely recommend!

Loved it This was an incredible experience.
Beautiful views! Staff were amazing too - shoutout to Tanya and our pilot Jessie ( I think that was his name!) We had an amazing time. If you're thinking about doing this, do it!!

Fantastic way to see the glaciers with a great crew! Wow this was spectacular, the views, the landing, our pilot was helpful and gave a great commentary. This will be a highlight of this holiday. The check in and ground crew were also very helpful and considerate of my mobility issues. Couldn’t have been kinder.

A REALLY Grand Tour What a treat. The 40 minute Grand Tour with snow landing from Franz Joseph was fantastic, a real once in a lifetime treat! A guide in NZ recommended this operator and they did not disappoint. Booking was simple and the check-in in Franz Josef is in the main street with the helipad very close by, so really easy to find.

Our pilot, Richard, was very professional and personable. The views of the Franz Josef and Fox Glaciers were amazing plus being able to fly so close to Mt Cook and Mt Tasmin were unforgettable. As for the snow landing we were very lucky as the weather was perfect - blue skies, little cloud or wind, and a great opportunity for photos and to walk on the glacier.
