Het was een mooie helikopter tocht met een landing op de fox Glacier gletsjer. Jammer dat er veel wind stond, waardoor we niet rond Mount Cook zijn gevlogen

We had a great trip. Luckily we were a 9 am flight. We spoke to people later who had their trip cancelled that day as the clouds had closed in. We didn’t manage to fly round Mount Cook due to the wind but we did Franz Josef Glacier as well as Fox instead. The company were well organized and the pilot was very smooth. The photos from the helicopter are not top notch as it’s through glass but you get a chance to capture some great ones when you land on the glacier. I think there are offers last minute which can save you quite a lot but you’re taking a chance they’ll be fully booked. It would depend on your budget and how much you really want to experience this. We’re glad we had this experience and would recommend the company.

So glad we decided to do this trip, it was absolutely amazing. Victor was a fantastic pilot and the scenery and snow landing was unforgettable. Victor was also a good sport when my children decided to aim a few snow balls his way! Thanks again, you've helped make our NZ adventure extra special.
