Awesome experience! As you would expect very professional and safety conscious. 5 of us in the helicopter plus the pilot Bill who was great. Views and scenery were like nothing we’ve seen before! Even saw a stag and his mate on the mountainside! Landing on the glacier and getting out was truly amazing. So many photos and videos taken on the trip! Would highly recommend! As good or even better than the helicopter trip to the Grand Canyon or Niagara Falls!

Wow what an experience! Jono was fantastic and a safe pilot - really good commentary. Totally overwhelmingly experience and certainly the highlight of of our South Island tour.
The only negative would be the price, as this seriously effected the rest of our budget for our vacation, but I understand that there are high operating costs.
Would certainly recommend this tour as a lasting memory!
