Soar over the stunning Franz Josef & Tasman glaciers on a thrilling 30-minute helicopter ride, including breathtaking views and an unforgettable landing on the Tasman Glacier.
Hi Caz, Thank you so much for your lovely review! We’re thrilled to hear you had an incredible time and that the trip felt like a once-in-a-lifetime experience. We’ll be sure to pass your kind words on to your pilot and the team. Thanks again for recommending us — we hope you enjoy the rest of your time in New Zealand!
The fact that the staff, proactively, contacted us to pull our ride forward because there was good weather (with bad to come) was really impressive to me!
Thanks so much for your review! We’re really glad we were able to bring your flight forward and get you in during the good weather — our team is always keeping a close eye on conditions to give guests the best chance of flying. We appreciate your kind words and hope you had an amazing time up there!
O voo é vendido como 30 minutos, não caiam nessa o voo de fato de ida e volta e os míseros minutos na geleira não dão nem 20 min, talvez nenos.. talvez eles contem a caminhada apressada, quase uma marcha no meio de uma mata (ida e volta) como o tempo do passeio. Foi o maior desperdício de dinheiro... apesar de ser lindo o cenário o tempo é insuficiente para apreciar a vista... E a foto que o piloto tirou de mim(óbvio que não era obrigação dele, mas se se dispôs, fizesse algo bom, as 3 fotos foram direto para a lixeira) Para mim é um.passeio pega turista... não vale o que é cobrado e ofertado. Talvez outra empresa ofereça mais.
Thanks for taking the time to share this feedback -sorry to hear you left feeling disappointed. It’s great to hear our pilot offered to take a few photos for you, but I’m sorry you didn’t feel the shots were any good. Our pilots are extremely experienced, safety-focused professionals, but they aren’t professional photographers, they do always try their best to capture some nice memories when time allows. This is the first time we’ve received feedback like this about pilots taking photos, but we do appreciate you mentioning it. In terms of timing, the experience is advertised as 30 minutes and according to our flight logs (we record every flight), your aircraft took off at 9:23am and landed at 9:53am, so it was exactly 30 minutes. The landing time is included within that 30 minutes (the walk to helicopter is not), If you’d like more time in the air or on the landing we do offer longer options as well, including our 60-minute Grand Circle and 90-minute Picnic experience. We’re also sorry you don’t feel what you paid represented good value. For context, it is actually one of the more competitively priced 30-minute glacier landing experiences available in the area, but we absolutely understand that value is personal and based on expectations. Thanks again for your review -we genuinely do take it onboard.
Amazing, awesome, wonderful, great, top 11 (out of 10) of all the experiences in my life, till now ... i want to repeat, jajajaja Thanks to Simon, the pilot, who seemed relaxed & very confident ;))) + the helicopter had glass windows underneath so we could see a wider perspective
Thank you for such an incredible review — we love your “11 out of 10” rating! 😄 We’re so pleased you had such an amazing experience, and we’ll absolutely pass your kind words on to Simon. He’ll be stoked to hear you felt relaxed and confident with him at the controls. Thanks again, and we’d love to have you back for round two anytime.
