Went down to the Fox Glacier office in the afternoon before our scheduled flight the next day, and was offered a flight right away. So up we went for a amazing flight up the Fox Glacier and right around Mt. Cook, because the cloud was down over Franz Josef. It was great the we could go a day early and modify the flight to suit conditions. We all really enjoyed the flight and commentary. Poured the next day with no flights
Staff were excellent, flight over both glaciers was outstanding. I would thoroughly recommend to everyone.
probably the only way to get the full glacier experience! it was totaly worth the price!
Fantastic way to see the glaciers.
