We had the most wonderful helicopter trip and glacier landing with Glacier Helicopters in Franz Josef. Nothing was too much trouble and the team were helpful and super friendly. Would definitely recommend them.
Once in a lifetime opportunity!

A genuinely once in a lifetime experience! Superb from start to finish. Professional and efficient preparation and safety briefing by friendly staff on the ground. Helicopter ride itself amazing. Tom, our pilot, was reassuring, informative and knowledgeable. To see, and land, on the glacier was spectacular.
Amazing experience!

We booked the 40 min "Mountain Scenic spectacular" flight at 09:30. Due to the weather, only a 20 min flight "Neve discover" to the glacier would have been possible or waiting. We decided to wait and were able to make the "Twin Glacier" flight at 13:30 (30 min). It was worth the wait. The snow landing flight was an unforgettable experience & joins our spectacular helicopter flights such as Ayers Rock, Victoria Falls and Anapurna Base Camp. Fascinating how close you get to the glacier, actually start from the rainforest and end up in the snow in alpine landscape. The whole team, booking, organization, also refund of difference: perfect & first class ! Our pilot did a huge job, even taking pictures of us up in the snow :-) Conclusion: A heli flight Fox / Franz Josef is a must have every NZ trip, but you should not schedule too tightly as it can be delayed due to weather, we experienced it & got lucky in the end.
Delivered what was promised and worth every cent.

Amazing experience on the glaciers! From the booking process with the friendly and professional Tiana to the check-in while waiting for the pilot’s approval, everything was perfect. The entire staff was exceptional. The experience itself was outstanding and truly unforgettable. Landing on a glacier like Fox Glacier is an honor and a unique emotion. Highly recommended!

Unfortunately, weather did not cooperate with our plans. It was extremely foggy for our tour date, but the staff rebooked us for the following day. We went through all of the safety training and were waiting by the helipad when our second excursion was canceled again due to weather. Mother nature always has the final say! The staff offered to rebook us, but we had to move onto our next location. The staff was completely understanding and refunded our payment.
