From Franz Josef Glacier - HELI HIKE
Kia Ora Bianca, Thank you for your lovely review! I am so pleased to hear you had a wonderful time with us and that we did well in all aspects! You picked the right time to go as all of this snow fall has made the glacier look even more amazing! Thank you again and Safe Travels. Ngā mihi, Aimee

Just do it!
Wow! What an incredible experience! I think I am still grinning ear to a day later. Between having loads of time on the ice, several photo opportunities, a guaranteed window seat on the helicopter ride (at least one way), and included entry to the Glacier Hot Pools (which you can use the day before or of the hike), the heli hike was worth every penny! Go see the glaciers while they're still around; you won't regret it!
From Franz Josef Glacier - HELI HIKE
Kia Ora Katie, Thank you for taking the time to place your review, we really appreciate your feedback. I am so glad you enjoyed your time on the Glacier Heli Hike, it sure is a once in a lifetime experience! The Hot Pools are always the best to relax and unwind after having such fun on the Ice! Thank you again and Safe Travels! Ngā mihi, Aimee

Awesome awesome awesome!!!
Did 16,500ft jump and absolutely worth to go for it! Stunning views with Franz Josef Glacier, Fox glacier and mt cook! Tandem Henry, he is cool and nice because I was too nervous before the jump and he was patient to make me feel comfortable. Don’t hesitate, just jump!

Kia ora Pei Ling Ng, Thank you for your feedback on BookMe – we appreciate your comments. It is fantastic to hear that you enjoyed your experience, however it looks like you have left your review on the wrong page. I believe you have done a Skydive not a Heli Hike. Great picture though! Ngā mihi, Georgia

Almost got trolled by the weather!
Awesome guided tour! Our guide was very friendly and have learnt heaps about the glacier. The complimentary spa pool access was such a good way to unwind after walking with the heavy boots. Highly recommended!

Awesome heli hike day
Grateful with the good weather, was very sunny during the hike and hence it was so hot with the overdressed winter wear. Good guide and enjoyed the trip
From Franz Josef Glacier - HELI HIKE
Kia Ora Yvonne, Thank you for your review. We are pleased to hear you enjoyed your trip on the heli hike! Yes it can get very hot up on the ice with all of the gear, but as you may know the weather can change very fast here on the West Coast so it is better to have more layers than less. Thank you again! Ngā mihi – Best regards, Aimee

Terrific experience!
Very friendly organisation - who helped me out multiple times as we pondered which trip would best as the weather changed in the days leading up to the trip. On the day we enjoyed a fantastic helicopter ride, brilliant weather, a snow capped glacier, hilarious guide and great company on the tour. Would do again!
