Sadly we’re were not able to do the 3 glaciers and one landing due to the weather. However we were able to get a helicopter ride and get up close to a couple of glaciers on the day. Pilot very informative,

This was a highlight of our trip. The views were amazing. Clouds delayed us a bit, but the staff kept us advised on flight status. Don’t wander too far away when waiting. We were standing just outside the door and didn’t hear our name called when it was time for our safety briefing. They were able to find us, thanks to help from some other customers. We flew during early Feb and it wasn’t very cold up at our snow landing.

It was something I have always wanted to do. It was beyond my expectations truly wonderful. Our pilot I think her name was Rebecca not sure, was so good as smooth as butter I would recommend this company so accommodating with weather changing they have a handle on it. Cheers

The weather was really bad unfortunately so we had to re-schedule the flight. that is just how it is in this region, so you have to be on stand by any time as a little window could open up suddenly… the staff was super helpful and the rescheduling worked well. the pilot was amazing. we had an incredible time and flight! definitely recommend this activity!

Wonderful to see the Franz Joseph Glacier up close but the weather was against us, should have been 3 Glaciers and a snow landing but the cloud was closing in so we had to have a shorter flight, still very good and they kept us updated.
