We had amazing experience with Glacier Helicopters! Firstly in the Fox Glacier office Bel explained us everything about the flights really properly and answered all our questions clearly. We’ve got an attractive discount as well. We’ve chosen Mt. Cook + Fox Glacier option. On the previous day we climbed Mt. Fox, where we had wonderful view for Glacier and Mt. Cook; we’ve worried a little bit, that views from the helicopter could be quite similar. We were totally wrong!!! We flew really high, pilot Clark showed and explained us about the peaks, glaciers, huts, vallyes arround. The flight was smooth and save – Clark is real professionalist. The weather was wonderful, during glacier-landing we were totally alone and the total flight time was longer than expected. It was the best experience in our life, worth every money. Team of Glacier Helicopters – thank you for such amazing adventure!!!
