인생에서 살면서 잊지 못할 추억만들고 가요!^^
하이킹가이드는 엄청 친절하고, 하이킹 도중 길이 조금이라도 불편하면 곡갱이로 정말 열심히 계단만들어줘요. 퀸스다운에서 렌트카로 먼거리를 4시간정도 운전해온 보람이있었어요. 정말 잊지못할 추억 그자체!^^

Terrific experience!
Very friendly organisation - who helped me out multiple times as we pondered which trip would best as the weather changed in the days leading up to the trip. On the day we enjoyed a fantastic helicopter ride, brilliant weather, a snow capped glacier, hilarious guide and great company on the tour. Would do again!

Kia Ora Bianca, Thank you for your lovely review! I am so pleased to hear you had a wonderful time with us and that we did well in all aspects! You picked the right time to go as all of this snow fall has made the glacier look even more amazing! Thank you again and Safe Travels. Ngā mihi, Aimee

Just do it!
Wow! What an incredible experience! I think I am still grinning ear to a day later. Between having loads of time on the ice, several photo opportunities, a guaranteed window seat on the helicopter ride (at least one way), and included entry to the Glacier Hot Pools (which you can use the day before or of the hike), the heli hike was worth every penny! Go see the glaciers while they're still around; you won't regret it!

Kia Ora Katie, Thank you for taking the time to place your review, we really appreciate your feedback. I am so glad you enjoyed your time on the Glacier Heli Hike, it sure is a once in a lifetime experience! The Hot Pools are always the best to relax and unwind after having such fun on the Ice! Thank you again and Safe Travels! Ngā mihi, Aimee

Awesome awesome awesome!!!
Did 16,500ft jump and absolutely worth to go for it! Stunning views with Franz Josef Glacier, Fox glacier and mt cook! Tandem Henry, he is cool and nice because I was too nervous before the jump and he was patient to make me feel comfortable. Don’t hesitate, just jump!

Kia ora Pei Ling Ng, Thank you for your feedback on BookMe – we appreciate your comments. It is fantastic to hear that you enjoyed your experience, however it looks like you have left your review on the wrong page. I believe you have done a Skydive not a Heli Hike. Great picture though! Ngā mihi, Georgia

정말 특별한 경험이었습니다.
비싸긴 했지만 정말 여기에서만 할 수 있었던 특별한 경험이어서 좋은 추억이 되었습니다. 옷도 방수복으로 위 아래 다 챙겨주어서 편하게 빙하 하이킹을 할 수 있었습니다~^^
