Outstanding views of the glacier, beautiful sunny day above the layer of cloud. Great commentary by our pilot Simon. Opportunity to take lots of photos.

Published on Oct, 2024

Fantastic experience! The highlight of our New Zealand trip. The staff were friendly and communicated clearly about all aspects of the trip. We felt safe and the staff made our flight thoroughly enjoyable. Landing on a glacier is a once in a lifetime opportunity and we are so glad we did this!

Don’t hesitate to do this flight

Brilliant experience, the weather was perfect so made the experience outstanding, Gregg the pilot was great fun to be with and provided brilliant and informative commentary. Landing on pristine snow was a bonus and the photos we will treasure forever. Highly recommend this company and the staff.

The most amazing experience!

Published on Sep, 2024

Our flight nearly didn’t go ahead because there was only two of us booked on and we needed a minimum of three. The staff did everything they could to ensure we could fly, they were so so helpful. We managed to change from Franz josef glacier to Fox glacier. It was amazing, the flight was so cool and landing on the snow was beautiful. Definitely worth the money!! Our pilot Tim was great and Hannah (I think that’s her name?) at the office was so helpful with sorting our flight.

Stunning landing Spot

Published on Jul, 2024

The trip was well organized they have a pick up and drop off service. The Pilot was great and stopped at the most spectacular spot and helped us to take family pictures. It was a great experience.
