Fantastic experience
Very professional team from the front counter staff to our excellent glacier guide "Stretch". Weather plays a huge part in this experience and the team clearly communicate and manage the ever changing scenarios.

Worth seeing
Highlights were the helicopter flights, walking on the Glacier seeing beautiful carcasses and being witness of rockslides ... altogether a very recommendable experience with professional and nice guides!

해볼만 합니다
가격 : 좀 비싸지만 비행기항공료보다는 싸죠 ㅎㅎ 서비스 : 존이랑 줄리아가 설명을 잘해주었습니다. 한국말은 잘 못하지만.. 헬기 : 처음타보는 건데 좀 어질어질합니다. 빙하탐험 : 존이랑 줄리아가 설명을 잘해주었고 위험한 지역인지 직접 점검을 하여 안전한 곳으로만 안내해주었습니다. 한 1-2시간은 빙하산 위를 다녔네요. 얼음위를 걷는지 눈산을 걷는지 헷갈립니다. 한국에서는 접할수 없는 것이니 해보세요. 기타 : 모든 스태프들이 안전한 여행이 되길 노력하는 모습이 좋았습니다. 저는 3번째에 헬기하이크를 했습니다. 첫날은 비가 많이 와서 트랙킹으로 비 맞으면서 빙하끝만 보고 내려왔습니다. 2째날도 비가와서 데카포를 갔다가 3번째 날에 간신히 헬기 하이크를 했습니다. 이젠 기회가 된다면 맨 꼭대기에 가고보 싶습니다. 존이 1명의 가이드에 2명이서 꼭대기 빙하투어가 가능했다고 들은거 같네요. 필수용품 : 선글라스는 필수입니다. 왜냐하면 눈때문에 눈이 부십니다. 제공해주는 파란색 고무옷과 안전화는 착용하세요. 빙하위를 다니기 때문에 옷버립니다. 간식은 미제공이니 가져가시면 좋을듯합니다. 조셉이랑 폭스랑 북미에서 비교해보았으나 헬기하이크는 폭스가 더 시간이 많이 할애될겁니다. 비교해보세요. 끝으로 모두 즐겁고 안전한 헬기 하이크가 되었으면 합니다.
