非常喜欢的一个旅行项目

fox冰川和佛朗兹约瑟夫冰川附近有好几家直升机观光冰川活动，不知道其他家怎样。但这家还是不错的，飞上冰川，停下来拍照，再飞跃库克峰丛另外一面冰川观光降落。工作人员都很友好

Awesome proposal!

Mountain Helicopters were kind(/awesome) enough to smuggle a small bottle of champagne and some glasses so I could propose to my (then girlfriend, now) fiancée in style :-) Highly recommend this company, friendly people, good service, awesome flight!

Impressive scenic flight

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.

Fantastic Experience

Some people had recommended that we not only take a helicopter up to the glaciers, but also go for the longest ride. I had never been too keen on the idea, but my wife was really into it. So glad we did it. Completely different appreciation of the mountains and glaciers. Did a landing and 40 minute ride. We will never forget it. Plus it was smooth and comfortable flight. Great experience!
