Only to be recommended - The staff at Glacier Helicopters in Fox Glacier were very nice and accommodating. The pilot Tom was great. The flight to both glaciers plus landing on the snowfield was one of my most beautiful experiences.

Ice to see you 😎 - A well organised helicopter trip to view 2 glaciers and land on one. And it was a flexible package too, as our previously arranged trip was cancelled due to bad weather.

A must do. - We had an awesome time. So luck with the weather. The flight was very smooth. Some awesome views when we landed on top of the glacier. Would have loved to have sat next to the pilot for uninterrupted views for photos .

Amazing - Staff and pilot amazing. Most amazing experience of my life. Just be careful not to deal with the manager. She is very rude to her employees and customers. Make sure you only deal with the staff and you’ll have an amazing experience.

A bucket list experience. - Unforgettable experience. Vicky and Belinda were brilliant, professional and fun, absolutely top service. Dion the pilot, every bit as professional and plenty of great banter. Can't recommend enough.

Paid for 3I min Twin Glacier and received 20 min one glacier ride.no promised partial refund. - We signed up and paid for the twin Glacier trip from Fox Glacier to bith Fix and Franz Joseph Glacier. After several delays we went to Fox Glacier which was beautiful! However the pilot s seemed pushed to get more people to the top and did not take us over to Franz Joseph Glacier claiming there was too much wind. There was no wind however.
