Five stars are not enough for this trip! What an experience! We had to wait a little while for the weather to clear but so glad we did as the views were amazing from the helicopter! Landing on the glacier was awesome! Don't forget your camera!
Awesome experience. I was initially nervous at my first flight in a helicopter yet I could hardly tell I had left the ground. That anxious moment over the rest of the trip was so amazing. The flight over the glacier was amazing with the pilot turning the helicopter to give all passengers great views. The landing on the glacier was great fun. Definitely an experience I would recommend. Thank you.
A real experience, something every one should do.
It's amazing and unforgettable moments!!
Very scenic flight and pilots made me feel safe I would highly recommend this scenic flight
Awesome view from the top, and our pilot flying so close to the mountain. Walking and playing at Mt Cook Glacier remind us of God wonderful creation everywhere. So blessed!
