5.00Booking process was simple, excellent email communication the day before reconfirming everything, actual checkin (except for minor issue of taking payment twice which is being sorted), the ground crew explaining everything , the pilot (James) taking advantage of a perfect flying day and giving us an amazing experience - can’t fault the service and experience provided

5.00We were fortunate that the weather was perfect and we absolutely loved our experience. Definitely a highlight of our trip to New Zealand. I would highly recommend. Although we were required to be separated from family members for the flight, we were able to come together for photos at the snow landing site.
Very professional company

5.00Great professional set up ideal to get to as we stayed in Franz Josef. Although we couldn’t do our planned trip due to weather conditions the staff who are all welcoming and friendly did offer a refund if we wanted but we opted to do the shorter trip over 1 glacier as it was our only opportunity. Our pilot James was great and landed us on rocks by a summer alpine pool which was gorgeous we got to feel the mountain air touch some snow have a little wander and take some great photos. We would highly recommend this company
Great experience

5.00After bad weather prevented us from going up as planned, we were finally able to fly on the third attempt. The staff were very helpful in rescheduling which we very much appreciated. So glad not to have missed this - it was a fantastic experience. James, our pilot, pointed out the key features and shared some interesting facts. We were able to land on the snowfield and capture some amazing photographs. Would highly recommend!
Crappy experience with The Helicopter Line and Glacial Tour Company

2.00The only reason they did as well as a two is because of the cloudless sky. What a money hungry / greedy company.!They stuff 7 adults, including the pilot into what was designed as a four passenger helicopter. The two people in the middle in the back are paying full price and getting a. Much worse experience. We could not even sit shoulder to shoulder in the back seat as there was not enough room. The guy to my right video recorded the whole flight with his phone in the middle of the glass so it was not possible to take photos on that side. The two passengers in the front did the same so no photos could be taken in that direction. Upon return, I asked to speak to the manager and she was too busy, so they took down my name and phone number. I did get a call back and upon answering, she hung up. I guess that means she called me back. I returned her call immediately only to have them take down my name and phone number again.
Awesome Glacier Landing
