From start to finish this was a great booking experience. As a "fatticus" I was a little worried that I would be too heavy or wouldn't fit in the helicopter. And whilst weight is important in relation to balance and loading - I was ok (At 115Kgs) so don't be afraid to ask when booking. Also, I want to acknowledge the company's commitment to experience. We were a person down on our flight but they still went ahead and took us up to see the glaziers. We did the three glaziers and a snow landing just under the Great Divide! Ours were the first prints on the ice for the day and the views on the way up are breath taking. I can only imagine that they will improve as we move seasons. To see all the falls with water running down them would be amazing but don't let that stop you visiting now the skies were clear, the temperature perfect and the views amazing! The safety brief was well performed, the pilot Gus Gordon (Owner/Operator) did an amazing job of taking us up to see the mighty Southern Alps, glaziers (Franz, Fox and the Tasman) and he takes some pretty good photos himself - I had more photos taken of me to chose from than I have had in the last 10 years. It was well worth the price as the experience along with some amazing photos will be treasured for a lifetime. Thanks team - it was amazing!!…

The helicopter ride was fantastic and totally worth it. I recommend buying the one with snow landing. the staff were amazing and very friendly as well. Although the best time to do it might be in winter, it is also great in summer as well. There were plenty of snow everywhere and we did the snow landing, too.…
