The most wonderful day ever, such a great company and fantastic experiences

Published on Mar, 2025

This trip was actually so wonderful, we did the 20 min flight first and then we paid to do the 40min flight an hour later as well. Absolutely amazing and beautiful. The reception staff were so polite and friendly and our pilot for ours flights (Paul) is so professional, so good with local knowledge. He also made the trip by being so much fun to be around and we had so many laughs. He even participated in a snowball fight. Thankyou for such great memories, we will be back again.

A short trip with a big wow factor

Published on Feb, 2025

The really wonderful trip , our pilot was fantastic and the weather fine so the flight and landing was a brilliant, it’s not cheap but the only way to get up to the glacier. A must do if you are travelling on the west coast

Excellent customer service from the beginning when our first flight was cancelled due weather. The flight on the following day when we flew was perfect.

The guide and pilot for...

Published on Feb, 2025

The guide and pilot for our trip were both wonderful! Both of them emphasized safety, which for a helicopter ride was very reassuring. They were also very kind about taking pictures and answering questions about the glacier. The helicopter ride itself was extremely smooth and the route was placed to make sure we could see the length of the glacier and its path down the mountain. All it all, it was an amazing experience and well worth the time to do once.
