There were road closures and we were not going to make it on time to Franz Josef. We called them and they rescheduled our trip to next day. Thank fully there was an open spot. It is recommended to book the ride for the day you reach Franz Josef so that u have some flexibility in can of any issues.
Smooth check in and a memorable trip. We took 1 glacier 20 min ride. The pilot was excellent and took pictures for us .. we stopped for a good 7 mins even though it was supposed to be a 2 min stop. Definitely worth the money.

The Franz Josef / Fox Glacier helicopter tour has honesyly been the best experience of our 4 week holiday. The booking was easy & confirmed quickly,, location was easy to find, booking in & safety talk was enjoyable, everything just flowed , all customer advisers were knowledgaeble & reassuring, pilot was phenomenal & truly made this whole experience wonderful. The scenery is jaw droppingly beautiful, really takes your breath away - as does so much in NZ. However this trip was so humbling & peaceful , it truly has been the cherry on the trifle ♥️

Most amazing experience I've ever had! Clear skies and a amazing view. We did the 20 min. With snow landing and it was worth every minute!

The scenery was beyond compare. I got to throw a snowball at my husband. Our pilot-Olivia was full of good information and operated the heli very smoothly. One of my favorite things I've done in NZ

Incredible experience. We were blessed with perfect weather and beautiful blue skies.
Wonderful memories with our 2 babies for whom the ride was free. Thank you so much!

Booked the 40 mins helicopter flight with glacier landing. However the weather was terrible and had given up hope of the flight being able to go ahead. However there was a small window in which the weather improved enough for a shorter scenic helicopter flight to take place, but visibility wasn't good enough for a landing on the glacier. Staff refunded the difference between the cost of the trips. Everybody was very friendly and the views were great despite the poor weather. Well worth the trip.

Since our Heli Hiking trip was cancelled the day before for rain, we took a short flight up and over Franz Josef Glacier, and landed in the snow for seven minutes. It was a beautiful experience, and gives you another perspective of this famous glacier. So glad we were able to book it.

I booked by flight 1 day out and was pretty nervous I wouldn't get to fly because of the weather. I went in to see and the team there were so caring about having to tell me unfortunately I couldn't fly. They went above and beyond to try and reschedule me during the short time I was there. Even moving my departure (from Franz Josef to Fox) to be closer to my accommodation! The next day I woke up to clear skies and was able to fly! Man they didn't disappoint!! I was fortunate to get the front seat - the views were amazing! Flying was fantastic and landing on the snow just an amazing experience :) Still have a smile talking about it today! From communication to the adventure these guys were fantastic and would recommend this company to everyone!

The flight was very impressive and wonderful!! Definitely worth it! I'd like to have a bit longer flight time. You are flying about 10-15 minutes and stay at the glacier for about 15-20 minutes to take pictures and enjoy the nature. If you have the money, do it!

Unforgettable experience. Vicky and Belinda were brilliant, professional and fun, absolutely top service. Dion the pilot, every bit as professional and plenty of great banter. Can't recommend enough.

Awesome flight, Tim was the pilot full of knowledge about the surroundings and great banter had up on the snow. Amy took us through the safety producer and walked us to the pads really lovley girl. Made us all feel very relaxed and excited for what was ahead of us 馃槉 We spoke to Vicky in the office and she sorted us out with the flight in the time frame we needed with no issues at all. All and all was and exceptional experience. Would highly recommend jumping on one of these flights.

One of the best experiences of our whole trip. We were five in all plus the pilot who gave us all the information we needed. Set down on the mountain and played snowballs and had photos. Would recommend it to everyone

Absolutely amazing!! It is hard to describe the feeling of being surrounded by pure white snow. Defo take your sun glasses it is so bright! The co-ordinators are fantastic. Everyone is weighed due to weight allowance for the helicopter. A super 'must do' experience and well worth the money especially if you can manage to get a 'Book Me'
