A ripper experience.

Our pilot was excellent and gave us a very personal tour and explanation of even how they were formed, Would recommend it to anyone,

Highlight of our South Island Trip

Published on Jan, 2021

This was something I had dreamed about doing for years. We originally booked from Fox Glacier but the weather was not suitable so we were transferred to the next morning at FranzJosef. The staff at reception were so helpful and let us know we might not be able to land because safety is of most importance if cloud was over the glacier. We were so lucky and the cloud cleared. Our pilot Tim was camp and gave us facts about the glacier on the way up. The flight was so calm. The glacier landing was so awesome. The kids have not been on the snow before and loved it. So beautiful. This company is offering amazing prices at the moment so you should definitely go. Amazing family memories. Thank you

Perfect day, amazing flight!

Oh my goodness - this was just amazing!! Fabulous safety conscious staff. The most perfect day with not a cloud in the sky - saw Mt Cook and Mt Tasman as well as the amazing view of Franz Josef Glacier. Definitely recommend doing it!

Bucket list experience!!

Absolutely amazing!! It is hard to describe the feeling of being surrounded by pure white snow. Defo take your sun glasses it is so bright! The co-ordinators are fantastic. Everyone is weighed due to weight allowance for the helicopter. A super 'must do' experience and well worth the money especially if you can manage to get a 'Book Me' discount.
