3.5/5
Great experience, but a small walk on the glacier and too many in one group.

This was the only thing we booked in advance from back home.
Worth every penny. Helicopter up to the Glacier, three hours ice time hiking. Our guide was the best!

Fun flying in the helicopter, interesting information from the guide, with very blue ice formations, but pretty expensive.

Unfortunately, the weather was poor so flying conditions and visibility were not great (white out so no landing).

This was expensive but really worth it.
We were worried about the weather but it turned out beautiful, what a place! Wear some sun screen even if you think you do not need it. WE visited the hotpools here as well in the evening and they were lovely

Memorable experience!
Nine out of Ten only because the check-in process could be improved upon, but once we were checked in, the people, the equipment, and the experience were wonderful. The helicopter portion was shorter than I was hoping but the scenary was just fantastic! The actual hike guide was awesome, even though his mixed Chinese Kiwi accent was a hoot! Very knowledgable, and led us all on a great adveture through the ice!

Enjoyed it.
For 2 fit people we could have walked around a bit more - the trip could have been maybe a bit more adventurous.

Did the heli-hike with a group of mates.
Pilot didn't introduce himself, just pushed an Offspring tape in to the stereo and give us the flight of a lifetime. (He was trying to scare us, but I was holding on tight with my arse-cheeks).
Oh, the glacier was neat to.

Totally fab, but i was told the helicopter ride was 10-15 mins each way.
It was more like 5 mins each way.
