We had an amazing time during the Glacier Heli Hike and Flight experience. Everything was well organized, and the staff were incredibly friendly, professional, and welcoming. A special thanks to our pilot, who was so kind and helpful, even taking the time to help us capture some wonderful photos. The glacier views were absolutely breathtaking and made for an unforgettable adventure. Highly recommended to anyone visiting New Zealand!love from Malaysia! https://vt.tiktok.com/ZSQRMyQ5r/ if you want to see my video from that magical day!

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.

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!

Unfortunately for us the Tranzalpine train had an engine failure halfway into the trip although of course Cheeky Kea had no control over this but they did the best they could! Our driver and guide Clive came to rescue us from the train station and continued to give us an educational and beautiful tour for the rest of the day before sending us back to our hotel safely with no further disruptions. It is definitely worth going for but here's hoping your train runs smoothly 😂

Felejthetetlen élmény, de a repülés tényleg az időjárástól függ, ezért foglaljon a legkorábbi időpontra, és tervezzen rugalmasan az időzítéssel!

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

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!

Experience the ultimate Christchurch to Franz Josef journey (Day 1) with this immersive small-group tour via Arthur’s Pass. More than a simple transfer, it’s a masterclass in New Zealand’s rugged beauty. Our guide, Joel, made the trip unforgettable with expert timing and local insight. We dodged crowds at the majestic Devil’s Punchbowl and Lake Ianthe, enjoying every spot in perfect light. With a delightful lunch break in Hokitika, this tour perfectly balances adventure and comfort. Day two from Franz Josef to Queenstown was just as spectacular, thanks to our fantastic guide, Martin. His deep knowledge of the West Coast added so much layers to the stunning scenery. We explored the prehistoric beauty of Ship Creek and marveled at the turquoise waters of the Blue Pools. Martin’s storytelling and seamless pacing made the long drive feel like an adventure. If you're heading south, this is the only way to travel!
