Amazing experience! - On a cloudy day, we chose to fly over the 2 glaciers, and the very kind mr at the reception advised us to wait a bit for the departure in the hope of an improvement in conditions. We took his advice and did very well, because it allowed us to land a few minutes on the glacier fox. The pilot was very friendly, and he gave us lots of information. Big +: we were alone on board, and only helico in the glaciers which made the experience even more magical!

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! 10th November 2024

Awesome experience - Great experience! Having never ridden in a helicopter before, my wife and I were a little apprehensive but excited to see the glaciers. The staff was incredibly professional and reassuring, setting us at ease. The flight itself was surprisingly smooth, and the views were spectacular. Landing in the snow, taking in the views in virtual isolation was a truly memorable experience. Highly recommended.

Amazing must do experience - Amazing getting so close to the mountains and glaciers. Our pilot, Mark, was terrific, excellent commentary and information. Landing on a glacier was definitely the highlight.

Don't think about it -- just do it. - Very Professional and still able to keep everything going with a heap of clueless tourist like us. There are several tour operators and I am sure they are all as good as each other, but this one was recommended by a local so that was good enough. The whole process was seamless and with humor. Our pilot was just great (Richard) and we felt it was a great experience -- it even left a bit early.

Awesome experience, bucket list item - We were booked to fly at 1:00 pm but it was too cloudy to make a landing. The staff were extremely accommodating and rebooked us for 2:30 pm as the clouds were expected to lift. I am so glad they were able to do this as the flight was amazing and landing on the glacier was awesome. I have flown in a helicopter over the Grand Canyon but this flight was far more spectacular. I would thoroughly recommend this to anyone thinking of doing this, you will not regret it.
