What an experience with a hefty price tag
Not 5 star because of following
It’s a stretch of the imagination really to say lord of the rings tour! Yes you do see some of the locations but …
They give you a booklet per couple to read as you are boarding I’m squashed In the front with some lady trying not to move and husband is sat in the back with book! We sat In reception for 15 mins before boarding maybe hand out a book each to look at before as once your on you want to look at sights not read a book. Would have been nice to have option to take book away
Pilot found some deer on mountain top circled them poor deers panicked I felt the welfare of the dear wasn’t taken into account!
However positives did 2 landing first one on a ridge don’t ask me how the helicopter didn’t fall off! 2 nd landing on snow was told it’s not glacier it’s melting snow. Very surreal experience getting out so peaceful and humbling just stupidly had none waterproof trainers on so soggy feet oops. Pilot took lots of photos at both landings
4 of us on trip so everyone had good views. Have to say the seat in front is tiny originally I was on outside but the handle dug in my leg so there was no way I could sit there so swapped to inside and other lady fitted fine but think it helped I sat right over to give her room not what happened when I was on Outside
