A "once in a lifetime" experience

It's expensive, but as a "once in a lifetime" experience it is definitely worth it! Overall impression was good. Pilot was nice and professional, and commentary was knowledgeable and informative. We did have very good fortune with the weather, something that made the ride a whole lot bette.r

Worth the money!

Published on Nov, 2021

We lucked out with the weather and went on a beautiful sunny day. The staff were great, the pilot knowledgeable and the views were incredible. The southern alps are stunning and this is the perfect way to see them! In response to the “not covid safe” review last month. Whilst we weren’t social distanced (difficult in a helicopter!) all 7 of us, including the pilot, were wearing masks. The company also adhered to the usual hand washing/contact tracing rules too. This has been the highlight of our trip so far and worth every cent!

My boyfriend and I flew this morning over the Fox Glacier and Mount Cook. We had the absolute best time flying over the glacier! Clark, our pilot, was extremely profesionnal and made us felt safe during our whole trip. The girls at the office (Fox Glacier) were also super friendly! The visibility was incredible and we got the chance to even see the Tasman Glacier! This experience is definitely one of our highlight and we will recommend you to do it, if you are thinking about it! :)
