Fabulous experience! I was very nervous about going in an helicopter but our pilot Dion was brilliant - such a smooth flight to the glacier. Beautiful sunny day made for stunning views. The flight was the highlight of our trip to NZ!! Highly recommend this small family owned business.

What an amazing adventure. Beautiful views from the helicopter but probably more memorable was the glacier after we landed. The ice was like a sparkling wonderland as it glistened in the sun!! Thanks for an awesome experience that we’ll never forget.
