Fanbloodytastic
It was well worth paying the extra for 45 mins and a landing. We were in a group of just three passengers and it was perfect xxx

Won’t book again
We were there last month, the weather was not ideal on the first day so they rebooked us. The second day was perfectly sunny and cloudless but they still refused to take off while other heli tour companies were all operating just fine. We literally saw more than a dozen helicopters going into the mountains and returning. The blonde girl at front desk was kind of rude too. Book any other heli company other than this one.
From Ultimate Discovery - 45mins 3 Glaciers Scenic Flight
Hi, I've checked back on your booking and see we didn't fly at all on the day you were rebooked for, and you were given a full refund. Each company in town makes their own weather calls as we have different routes and landing sites to make the calls on. It looks like there were extremely high winds around our landing sites that day hence the sky was cloudless. We generally have one of the lowest cancellation rates in town due to the variety of landing sites we have but that doesn't mean we can always fly. There is also a lot of helicopter work in the area that isn't scenic flights. We will not be bullied into risking our team or customers by flying in conditions our pilots do not consider safe. Thank you

Stunning Experience of a lifetime
To be honest, we nearly didn’t book this ride because of the price, but OMG, we are so pleased that we went through with it. Everything was such an awesome experience, the take off, flying up the Franz & Fox Glaciers, landing on the glacier for 10mins, hovering around Mt Tazy & Aoraki and back down - thrilling and an experience we will always cherish.
