It was great experience, we weren’t too sure about it but it was amazing, the stuff was super nice and the views and the helicopter experience was fantastic! For us the 20 min one was just right. I would clearly recommend it

This was an experience of a lifetime. All staff are highly professional and we received plenty of information about the glacier during the ride. Landing on the glacier was surreal and we were allowed a good amount of time to wander about. We booked the 9am flight and were lucky to have a perfectly still, cloudless day.

Check-in was easy and fuss-free. Weather was superb! It rained the night before and cleared up just in time for our flight. Recommend to go in the mornings (for Dec period). Nice souvenir pic at the glacier (printed on the spot) albeit need to pay ($20). Would've loved for it to be a longer flight!

Learnt a lot about the glacier and history. The snow was soft and fluffy under the crust and it wasn’t as cold as I thought it would be. Awesome experience. Highly recommend.
