5.0/5
If you break the price down, it really isn’t expensive.
2 short helicopter rides, a guided 3 hour hike on the ice, with all equipment/safety briefings necessary, and access to the thermal spa after... the glacier won’t be here for ever and I think it’s not bad value for money. It’s not expensive, just a lot of money.
We could not have chosen a better day. Not a single cloud in the sky, baking hot sunshine and the views were just breathtaking. I loved the hike, squeezing between the gaps in the ice and walking though ice-tunnels. Very accessible. So fantastic. And access to the thermal spa later that evening made this day even more memorable. A really perfect way to relax after a day exploring. If you can afford it, I would highly recommend it.
Thank you S Weslake, United Kingdom for such a great review, I am pleased you had a perfect day and highly recomend. HeliServices.NZ did operate the Helihike/Icexplorer flights with Franz Josef Glacier Guides up to July 2016. Another company has taken over the Helihike since then. We offer scenic flights and snow landings above the Fox and Franz Josef within the Westland (Tai Poutini) National Park. Helicopter charters also available.

This was a once in a lifetime experience.
We saw Fox Glacier, Mt Tasman and Mt Cook with a clear sky. Lovely, though it was very experience.

Was just perfect - we had if for free, so normally it is too expensive for us!

Staff were friendly and the guide okay.
However, the groups were too big so that you end up waiting most of the time. It was also quite a lot of money.
Hi Peer,
We only offer the scenic flights by helicopter with a pilot. The tours that include a guide on the glacier are with another company? (Helihike? or Ice Explorer?)

Flight too short, groups should be split into levels - the guides are quite knowledgable.
Hi Stefanie,

Excellent trip.
Commentary could have been better - could not hear much of it. Seating was a little cramped in the front seats. But overall a very good service, to be recommended. Expensive but competitive with other providers.
Thank you Steve for your recommendation. I am very pleased we offered a good service.

Great experience but there was no switch of the back seats to the front seats after the glacier landing.
When telling afterwards at the office they were not so friendly anymore.

Staff informs well.
If the weather is too bad you can't see they tell honestly and advise a tour that fits the weather.
Thank you Wijnhoven for your review. I am pleased you felt the staff informed you well and were honest about the conditions.

A MUST for anyone going to the glaciers!!!!
It was kind of short, we would have liked a little more time, but the scenery was absolutely amazing!!!! worth every penny!!!a little more explanation on the formation or movement of the glaciers would have been nice....
