Do it!

What an amazing experience to be able to get up close to the glaciers! The team were friendly and efficient in their organisation of the tour. I would highly recommend them!

January

We had an amazing experience with Glacier Country on their Ultimate Explorer trip. Originally we had booked for the afternoon but the forecast was for heavy cloud so we had phoned to query if the trip would go ahead and they offered to move us onto the earlier flight. We had blue skies with a small amount of cloud starting to roll in. Seeing the glaciers from above was incredible, as was the snow landing. The pilot commentated on the landscape as we went and was keen to ensure we all got the best views regardless of the side of the helicopter we were sat on. One of our top NZ experiences so far!

Thank you for the review Gareth, the weather does change fast here so having some flexibility really does helps us get you out during the best weather!

Best views from the top of NZ!

Gus and Megan were so friendly and knowledgeable, shifting flights around so customers had the best weather experience. Highly recommend this company and trip - it should be on everyone’s bucket list to do at least once! Thanks for an amazing adventure, Jo

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.

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
