Gillie our pilot was wonderful! It was the trip of a lifetime! Astounding! I would advise booking the earliest flight possible (even staying at the airport accommodation) as clouds and rain often appear by lunchtime and helicopters can’t fly without visibility. In my opinion the 35 minute flight would be worth the extra money compared to the 30 minute because you get to go over the craggy peaks. Don’t forget to confirm flight before the 24 hour cut off. Otherwise you will only get a voucher if weather means the flight is cancelled.

It was a great experience right from the time we made the booking. Staffs were professional and very friendly. The landing on the ice was great and the pilot was well informed kept narrating throughout the scenic trip.
