We were absolutely thrilled with our trip. There were just three passengers and Gus our pilot, did everything possible to make sure each of us had a Birds Eye view of each glacier. The landing was amazing. It was okay for me to wander a very short way from the helicopter and to enjoy virgin snow where maybe no one has ever stood before. I tasted the glacier and it was wonderful. Gus showed us some deer on a ridge below the glacier on our flight down which was a real bonus. Thank you Gus.

The experience was awesome. But the thing that really stood out for us was the communications in the 24 hours leading up to our scheduled booking, where they let us know weather was looking marginal and assisted us to easily and confidently book for the next day. The early and clear communication enabled us to rebook and still maximize our time in Franz.

This is truly one of life's great journeys. Even though the weather was against us and we didn't get to the 3 glaciers because of cloud cover, our pilot Deon skillfully took us up to the top of the Tasman Glacier and gently nestled his chopper onto the ice. It felt so surreal to step out and walk or should I say slide our way on the ice above the clouds at the top of the glacier and this should be a 'must do' trip for anyone visiting this part of NZ. The whole flight there and back gave us the most amazing scenery. Deon was very informative with his commentary and as I was sitting beside him I was able to ask questions. It is also special that this is a family run business and the courtesy extended to their guests is above and beyond. My only suggestion is that some sort of spike or special rubber grips to slip over your shoes be provided so that you can comfortably walk on the ice. Thanks again for a truly magical experience, one that I will never forget and will highly recommend

Best day of our holiday. Views were amazing, landing on the glacier was amazing, can’t recommend it enough. Expensive but worth it.

Wonderful experience! The company contacted me the day before my reservation offering an earlier flight. I'm glad that I took them up on the offer, as later in the day the weather deteriorated. My first helicopter ride was fantastic. You just can't get the glacier views any other way. Don't let anything keep you from taking a helicopter tour with Glacier Country. All of their staff were very professional and helpful.
