It appears that weather affects this A LOT! So get on when you can. We only saw Franz Josef, and unable to land, but we are so grateful we did it regardless of this. Brilliant!

This trip was the highlight of our holiday. Great staff. Spectacular views. Was a bit more than we wanted to spend but was glad we did. 10 out of 10 experience.

There was cloud coverage coming in so we spent more time on the glacier than I believe is normal. Our pilot wasn't the most informative but that was ok.

A wonderful experience! To the folks that checked me in to the pilot, just wonderful people. The snow landing was super neat, glad to see both glaciers because I didn’t have time to stop into Fox glacier area.
