This was one of the best experiences we have ever done as a family. We did the "pilot's choice 20 min" and it was plenty of time for us with 3 kids, our pilot Jono was fantastic and we got amazing photos on the top of a snow patch of Mt Cecil. Highly recommend this for everyone.

Our helicopter cruise was cancelled but this 90 minute tour was just fine. Two stops including the top of a mountain. Our guide did a great job and we felt 90 minutes was plenty of time

Great experience
We booked the southern glacier experience with our young family
We had to reschedule due to weather so make sure you book in at the start of your trip to allow for this
Our pilot Bill was fantastic! Very informative and even pointed out the goats for the kids.
Enjoyed our landing on the glacier and got some great pics (thanks Bill)
Scenery is amazing!
Highly recommend. Felt like a very professionally run operation 🚁 will come back next year

Was an excellent flight, Bill was an amazing pilot, he got us nice and close to the mountains to see how beautiful the scenery was, and was a wealth of knowledge on the area. The whole staff were amazing as well and I will definitely be taking another flight with these guys when I return later in the year.

Nice ride over the mountain tops but would have been ideal if the pilot could speak more clearly to hear the spots he called out. It was not a technical issue but his verbal. And, one couple brought a water bottle and we were told to not do so -- too bad they put it in the snow at the glacier top and it showed up in the pics.

Great experience - We had Zip as a pilot, knowledgeable, funny and engaging.

Gorgeous scenery, beautiful day - got really close to the glacier ice in the air before landing.

This was simply incredible and a must do experience. A great hour of incredible flying over the southern alps with a 10 min landing on a mountain top. Helicopter Line were very accommodating for us to change our booking to an earlier day to capture the good weather, and all at no extra charge. Felt very safe and a highly experienced pilot.
