Thanks for taking the time to leave a review Ellen and for flying with us!
Megan, you are the coolest! Jay you were fantastic! The snow landing was mind blowing! What and incredible experience Highly recommend
Hi Jyran! Was awesome having you fly with us too!
I had such a brilliant time. I smiled ear to ear the whole flight. The pilot, Jay, was informative and made us feel safe. Panoramic views from the snowfield landing followed by a flight to my cook and Tasman and then sweeping over the glaciers. Amazing!
Megan and Jay made it feel like going flying with family. Very personable and very knowledgable about the area they live and fly in. Would recommend to anyone looking for an out of this world experience with down to earth team!
An incredible experience with fantastic staff to make sure we all really enjoyed it. Loved the commentary as we were flying, giving us a lot of information about what we were seeing. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend this to others - well worth it!
