Taking a helicopter to see the glaciers was incredibly beautiful. The pilot also provided detailed explanations and helped us take photos. It was an unforgettable experience.

The guide was very kind. It was also great that there were plenty of breaks along the way. This is a tour that can be thoroughly enjoyed even by solo travelers.

They provide very complete equipment to borrow before the trip, such as warm jackets, pants, shoes, socks, gloves, and hats, and the staff will explain the precautions in detail. After the helicopter arrives, the guide will help you put on ice cleats and will lead you to avoid dangerous ice caves. It's a great experience, although it's pricey, it's worth a visit.

I was really looking forward to the helicopter flight experience that was originally planned for this West Coast glacier tour. Unfortunately, the trip was canceled the day before due to bad weather conditions the next day, so we didn't go to check in. Although I was inevitably disappointed at the time, I must sincerely give the operator a good review. They proactively notified us of the cancellation in advance, explained everything clearly, and put safety first, which made us feel their professionalism and responsibility. What's even more commendable is that the refund was processed very quickly, the process was transparent and smooth, without any delays or excuses, allowing travelers to adjust their subsequent itineraries with peace of mind. And this trip didn't leave any regrets. We switched to hiking local trails to viewpoints, looking at the glacier and mountains from the ground. Clouds flowed through the valleys, and the snow-white glaciers loomed, the grandeur and tranquility of which were equally shocking. We lost the aerial view, but gained a feeling of being closer to nature and slowly appreciating the beauty of the West Coast mountains. Weather is uncontrollable, but professionalism and integrity can be chosen. This is a company worth trusting. If I visit the West Coast of New Zealand again, I would still be willing to book again and make up for that unfinished flight experience. Safety first, clear communication, and quick refunds, highly recommended.

The glaciers are disappearing, you must visit once in your lifetime. The activity is very dependent on the weather, but if you have good character, the weather will naturally be good.😂

The guides were professional and safely led us to explore the glacier, allowing us to take many beautiful photos. The helicopter ride overlooking the entire glacier, even seeing icebergs, was very worthwhile.
