Must do

Wir konnten, aufgrund des Wetters, zwar nur 2 Gletscher überfliegen und nicht landen, jedoch trotzdem ein einmaliges Erlebnis! Organisation hinsichtlich Information und Umbuchung super. Anbieter sehr zu empfehlen.

Schön, aber chaotisch

Ich habe für den Nachmittag gebucht, bekam morgens gegen 7:30 eine Mail ob wir auch schon gegen 11:30 einchecken/ fliegen könnten. Dort angekommen, sagte man uns, dass aufgrund schlechtem Wetter wir 1,5 Stunden später fliegen würden. Also kamen wir wieder, und man wollte uns wieder in den Nachmittag verlegen wie ursprünglich gebucht. Das lehnten wir dann ab und bestanden auf die vorherige Zusage. Die Dame an der Rezeption war etwas unfreundlich. Der Flug war toll, unglaublich, unfassbar , ein wahnsinnig schönes Erlebnis. Der Pilot war super, sehr freundlich, sehr motiviert, viele Erklärungen. Die Landung auf dem Eis war toll und hatten genug Zeit

Grandioses Erlebnis

Wir flogen mit Poppy, die uns die Gletscher ganz aus der Nähe zeigte. Wir landeten auf einem Schneefeld des Gletschers. Dank des traumhaften Wetters konnten wir bis zu den Stränden der WestCoast blicken.

Fabelhafter Flug bei tollem Wetter

Unser lange geplanter Helikopterflug fiel leider buchstäblich ins Wasser. Gott sei Dank konnten wir auf den frühen Flug am nächsten Tag umbuchen. Der fand dann bei tollem Sonnenschein und mit einer hervorragenden Pilotin statt. Es war ein beeindruckendes Erlebnnis.
