Twin Glacier Helicopter tour from Fox Glacier - An awesome day and great views. Loved every minute of it. Landing on the soft snow made it very special and exciting! Thanks to crew and pilot.

Franz Joseph Glacier landing lifetime memory! - Beg, borrow, steal the money for the 30 minute flight! It’s better than words can say! I was pressed into taking the flight at a river site sales office by a guy called Kevin. Mate you are a hero. No one should miss this.

Wonderful experience - The views were amazing, and the staff was great. The weather was poor most of the day, but when the visibility finally opened up, they were ready to go. They had kept me informed all along the way so that I was able to make the flight. The pilot pointed out sights and was helpful with pictures while we were landed on the glacier. Everyone was great.

Definitely one for the bucket list! - Staggering scenery. I could have stayed on the glacier for longer, just to soak in the views. Great pilot - all very interesting.

Good value, incredible trip - all too short though! - An unbelievable trip. We had tried to go from Mt Cook (rained - low cloud - cancelled) and then Franz Joseph a week later (got as far as the helicopter door but the clouds rolled in - cancelled). Finally managed to get airborne but weather scuppered our chances of a circuit of Mt Cook so we settled for the two glaciers. Superb views, great landing, interesting pilot - would happily have gone up for twice the time and spent twice the money as it was all over far too quickly.

Amazing experience, will never forget - From the helicopter, we witnessed absolutely beautiful views. We landed on the glacier which was an awesome natural feature. It was a wonderful trip, very well organised and very safe.

Lifetime experience over the glaciers - The service, communication and all the support with the bookings for 3 different tours for 13pax total was not easy, yet you guys did it! Great views, amazing pilots, perfect safety measures! The whole staff is highly professional and kind!

Like a fairy tale - Great helicopter ride with beautiful weather and a good and professional pilot who gave a lot of explanation about what to see. Seeing the glaciers and snow on the peaks from above is truly stunning, an experience I will never forget! We had actually planned the flight a day earlier but due to the worse weather we could choose between shorter flight or postpone a day. We chose a day later which we were very happy with. There is no difficulty at all. They also use smaller helicopters so you never fly with large groups. That was the reason to fly for us from Fox Glacier. Something we felt was a very good choice!
