It was an awesome trip. Pilot was great. Views were beautiful. It is slippery when you get out of the helicopter. Would definitely do it again.
An amazing experience. The staff were all so friendly and professional. We had Poppy as our pilot. It is nice that it’s a family run business too! We got very lucky with the weather so can’t comment on Bookme.co.nz refunds process but bear in mind helicopter experiences can be cancelled after booking due to unsuitable weather for flying.
Came on a pretty cloudy day but the second you go above the clouds you can see everything. It was beautiful, the pilot gave information throughout the flight and we got to play in the snow for a bit.
Definitely a must-do in Franz Josef, especially when the weather is good. It’s a bit expansive, but the landscapes you get to see are absolutely worth it. I highly recommend it!

The flight in heli was magic. The view was incredible on the landscapes, the mountains and the glaciers since the helicopter. The landing on the glavier was a moment so ouf. Thanks Poppy for the heli trip
