It was an outstanding experience. I did not know what to expect and the helicopter flight, takeoff and landing were very smooth. Our pilot was friendly and knowledgeable and gave us time to enjoy our surroundings when we landed on the snow. The staff on the ground were also helpful and friendly.
Beautiful scenery

Flight path had to be changed so we ended up landing in a different spot. Got to see both Franz Josef and Fox Glacier - beautiful scenery and great flight! Will be super memorable as my partner and I got engaged at the top! :) thanks to the team for the magical experience!
