Fantastic experience

Wow. Amazing flight. We both had awesome experience from the time we boarded our helicopter till we landed back at base again. Our pilot Gerrard was great, made my better half feel comfortable and safe. The flight was into and past some amazing snow capped mountains, ranges with a landing at a Loch for some pics. Gerrard was very knowlegable on the glaciers, surroundings etc. Probably closer to an hour than the 50min. stated. Will be in the memory bank forever. Value for money. Highly recommend

Awesome helicopter experience

If you are nature which trip to take we recommend the Glacier Tour and Mt Aspiring. Land on the glacier, take amazing photos and have fun. Peter drove us out and about with great commentary and took our photos. Thanks also for the Admin team who really looked after us.
