Stunning Experience of a lifetime

To be honest, we nearly didn’t book this ride because of the price, but OMG, we are so pleased that we went through with it. Everything was such an awesome experience, the take off, flying up the Franz & Fox Glaciers, landing on the glacier for 10mins, hovering around Mt Tazy & Aoraki and back down - thrilling and an experience we will always cherish.

Fanbloodytastic

It was well worth paying the extra for 45 mins and a landing. We were in a group of just three passengers and it was perfect xxx
