An unreal experience that allowed us to see the glacier from a different perspective! Our second time doing this and it was just as incredible as the first time round! We recommend this to all our friends that travel to New Zealand. As the pilots say, if you can fly - fly, because you could travel to the West Coast 100 times and never get the chance due to weather. Make the most of the opportunity if it’s there!
A great trip had by myself & Fiona. Landing on the snow was our biggest highlight as well as having a talk with Tim our pilot. The young woman at the office was very friendly and looked after us very when taking us to the chopper pad.
If you are short of time and are not fit enough to do the HeliHike, the 20 min helicopter flight with snow landing is a great experience to bring you to the top and middle of the glacier to experience the magnificence of nature.
Speechless. It was so wonderful!
I enjoyed this short and sweet experience. My son enjoyed it most. Highly recommended.
One of those once in a lifetime experience. Such, beautiful ,amaxing,diverse scenery.Its awe inspiring.You get such a view of the grandeur of the glacier from the helicopter. Truly incredible.
We flight at 1pm for the twin glaciers with landing. It was awesome, great pilot and nice staff. Highly recommend
Weather is perfect. If you went on summer, do not wear too much, a T shirt is fine. They will provide you jacket and pants. It’s gonna be so hot when you start walking!!
It was absolutely fantastic! Thoroughly enjoyed every minute. The helicopter pilot was brilliant. Highly recommend the experience!
Absolutely fantastic experience to be landing on Franz Joseph glacier.
The heli hike was one of the most memorable things we have done in NZ. All the staff were super friendly and our guide Jon was really nice and informative. There was hardly any waiting around so you do get a lot of time on the ice. The price is very expensive but for an experience that you will probably only do once, it is fairly reasonable.
This has to be the highlight of the past 15 months I’ve spent in this country. I couldn’t stop smiling! The staff are very professional and put your comfort above everything else. If they need to get another helicopter, they’ll do it, no question. It was my first time in a helicopter and first time over the twin glaciers. I had the best time! Thanks again!
I tried to get a flight booked from every place traveling from Wellington too Queenstown on the off chance I looked on line came accross bookme .co.nz and they managed to get me on a Helicopter Fight at Franz Josef I cannot put into words how wonderful it was to see the Glacier powerful magic such a privilege Marion
They were very friendly, safe and informative. Well worth the money!
We had such a great time. It was well organized and we felt completely safe the entire time. The helicopter flights were quick, but very cool. Our guide was very knowledgeable and fun. We got to explore ice caves and crevasses which were super cool. The company will provide you with proper boots, mitts, socks (all clean), rain jacket and cramp ons. These are included in your tour cost.
The best experience & Sam the guide was incredible!!
Definately one of the best tours we have ever done while travelling. Staff are top notch, big thanks to our guide Ben who kept up the enthusiasm all afternoon and took us to some cool places off the beaten track (anyone wanna squeeze through a cravesse?).
Our first trip got cancelled due to low lying cloud, so flew the following and had an absolute bluebird! Well run company, organized, would have been nice to fly a little further or over the glacier before or after the hike just to really take in how big it truly is! Tom our glacier leader was incredible, very enthusiastic
Everything is excellent.
Awesome experience. Dan (pilot) was fantastic and very informative and the check in staff were great too. Highly recommended.
A must do in NZ whether your visiting or a local like us ! We are so happy with our experience amazing views everywhere you look. This experience is weather dependent and if they fill the flight so I recommend staying in Franz Josef or fox glacier.
Land on the top of the mountain to enjoy the amazing view. Really a fantastic experience, must try and you will not regret, is worth!
The views were absolutely amazing! A great experience - thanks to great staff
First time ever in a helicopter, and it was amazing! We had a small 5 person helicopter, and it was so agile. We also had a perfect day for this acitivity, which is the highlight of our NZ visit
Went down to the Fox Glacier office in the afternoon before our scheduled flight the next day, and was offered a flight right away. So up we went for a amazing flight up the Fox Glacier and right around Mt. Cook, because the cloud was down over Franz Josef. It was great the we could go a day early and modify the flight to suit conditions. We all really enjoyed the flight and commentary. Poured the next day with no flights
the view is so stunning plus the weather is nice. very friendly staff and pilot.
An extraordinary experience! Many thanks Nathan and Kirsty for taking such amazing care of our family. With three teenage boys you certainly presented us with truly magnificent memories for a lifetime. We loved your commentary throughout the trip, with a perfect mix of facts and interesting information to appeal and maintain the interest of the adolescent brain. We are also very grateful for the personalized nature of the trip! We will be sharing this amazing experience and your very impressive service with friends and family and shouting out to the world a truly extraordinary experience! Many thanks
We booked at 3PM but the staff allowed us to join 1PM flight then they could fulfill the flight capacity and we did not have risk from 3PM flight cancellation on unmet minimum flight capacity. While I was there, they allowed only to fly from Fox. There was no flight from Franz Josep anymore so I needed to change my plan to Fox earlier to catch the flight even I booked Franz Josep. Stunning view during the flight for both Glaciers in departure and returning. The snow landing on Mt Cook was magnificent. we landed on fresh snow with clear blue sky. 10 minutes there was worth.
Was great to meet this amazing people and have a great experience. They gave us enough time and took time to explain and answer all our questions. Very caring and genuine. Was a great ride and experience must do it.
Will deffinetly recommend to everyone.Breathtaking viwes?
This was amazing! I Highly recommend the whole experience ! The staff are really helpful and nice and the view is just amazing !
WOW is all I can say. Breathtaking views and money well spent. 200% recommendable!!!
Amazing, pilot Cody was awesome, the girls in Franz Josef office went out of their way to help. Top notch customer service. Would highly recommend.
Staff very friendly, short ride from office to the heli pad, beautiful flight up to the glacier and more time on the glacier than anticipated. No other heli near us so it felt like un-touched and pristine landscape. Absolutely one of the best experiences of a life time! A must do for any travelers or Kiwis!
Everyone was so helpful and kind. The weather looked bad for the day I had booked and the staff rearranged my flight for the next day no problem. Beautiful day, friendly and professional staff, awesome experience.
