What an incredible experience. Scott is such a fantastic guide, very knowledgeable and cheerful. The hike was around 1.5 hour with lots of time stopping for pictures, so it was not as physically demanding as expected. The glacier is truly mesmerising, it is one of the best memories I have made in NZ!

The weather was absolutely perfect on the day of departure, and we were assigned front-row seats on the helicopter, which offered fantastic views. Our guide led us through ice crevices and into ice caves for photos. Although the journey wasn't long, the glaciers we saw along the way were all incredibly beautiful.

jumped from 18000 feet.. it was an out of the world experience... opted for the go pro video package..it was amazing.. I was able to relive the moments multiple times... thanks to everyone in sky dive Franz josef team.. special thanks to my diving instructor Jono.. he was amazing...

We had an amazing heli hike experience and were so fortunate to have Tyana as our guide! She was incredibly friendly, informative, and approachable throughout the entire trip. She made an effort to speak with every participant individually, constantly checked in to make sure we were doing okay, and patiently answered all our questions. Tyana shared so much interesting information about Fox Glacier, which made the experience even more memorable and meaningful. We felt very safe and well taken care of throughout the hike. All the necessary gear was provided, including waterproof pants and jackets, backpacks, hiking sticks, waterproof boots, and crampons, so we were fully prepared for the conditions. The hike itself was manageable and not overly tiring, with plenty of pit stops along the way to rest and take beautiful photos. Overall, it was such a fun and unforgettable experience, and we’re really happy to have had Tyana as our guide. Highly recommend!

Worth the money! Thanks to the weather gods- we had a smooth and timely ride. The views are unreal.

An amazing experience. Helicopter flight over Franz Josef and landing on Mt Fox. Able to walk out onto the glacier - fantastic

unfortunately the weather was bad.and it was rescheduled to later in the day.and then was again rescheduled to the next day.a total of 3 times.i would suggest a buffer of 3 days.the day we left ,it got sunny the next day.missed the event .z85 was refunded .

From the moment, I was picked up at my hotel accommodation to the trip it was nothing but amazing. The tour driver was very knowledgeable and very ethusiastic during the trip. All of our itinerary and tourist spots were ticked off. I highly recommend to do this Tranzalpine tour from Christchurch to Arthur's Pass. It was my first time in Christchurch and I fell in love with the place. Castle Hill, Otira Viaduct and Devil's Punchbowl Waterfall is a must see + we get to see a Kea bird. I would surely come back next time.

Had a lovely day out with our guide John, who entertained us the whole way with his tales and humour. Do note that this is the version of the tour without the TranzAlpine railway, and they will combine both tour groups. You can still get on the train with their help, but it’s cheaper to just get the train package tour from the start. John helped to sort us out and the ride was definitely worth it!
