The flight experience was very good. There was also a Chinese explanation before the trip, educational knowledge points, no need to worry about airsickness. When landing on the top of the mountain, the captain also enthusiastically helped take pictures. It was a very good experience

Another unforgettable highlight of my trip to New Zealand! Hannah, our guide, was incredible—she helped carve out safe paths for us to follow. I’ve always been a bit nervous on steep terrain, so she placed me right behind her in the lineup. That way, I could follow her exact foot placements and navigate each section safely.

It is our first time to do a heli glacier ride and it was 10/10! James, our captain, was so skilful and reassuring. The ride itself was so comfortable. It never felt like a rush during our time in the glacier landing. It was just so perfect for a fun acitivity while in Franz Josef town.

Helihike is an amazing experience, able to see the Glacier from height and also really have a nice walk over the Glacier! It is also interesting to have pilot Lily who picked you up from hotel and fly with you on plane. Glacier Walk guide Kenri brought us a joyful and special Glacier Walk experience!

I did a heli hike trip and Bronte, the tour guide, was excellent. She was full of energy and smile. Her knowledge of the Glacier also enriched our trip. Think the trip was very worth despite the price. It gives you an experience that you can't simply get by your own.

great view from on the glacier and during the flights. Our flight was rescheduled from 8:30 to 11:30, due to the weather, and changed from helicopter to combo ride plane + heli, which was actually great.
