Must-have experience in Franz Josef!!

The Franz Josef Heli-hike was an amazing experience! I absolutely recommend this experience to anyone visiting the area. Our first scheduled trip was canceled due to weather, but the company was really great about providing an alternate option, offering full refunds, and allowing to reschedule if possible. We rescheduled, and it was really worth it! The staff was friendly, helpful, and incredibly informative. Once we checked in we got fitted for all of our gear and got a safety briefing. The helicopter ride was quick but beautiful, and our pilot was great! We met our guide Maya on the glacier, and she was fantastic! She did a great job making the hike educational, fun, and safe. She also told great stories and engaged all of us so we learned a little bit about each other and had fun as an adventuring team. Of course the glacier and scenery were gorgeous too!
Wonderfull experience!

I’m an avid traveller and this was easily one of the top three things I’ve ever experienced. The glacier was incredible. The staff and guide, Ruby, were so friendly and knowledgeable. I can’t recommend this experience enough.
