We were blown away with all the stunning sites! Alfie was a phenomenal guide. It is an experience you’ll never forget! Worth the price
Amazing first helicopter experience
Published on Feb, 2025
This was a great first helicopter tour for us. Jeremy was an excellent pilot! He rotated us through the cabin so that all of us had chances to see views from the front and different sides of the helicopter. The view of the mountain ridges and the glaciers were some of the most incredible things we have ever seen.
Flying above Middle Earth is a dream come true!!!!

The views were INSANE! It was a truly magical experience. We had Jeremy as our pilot and he was amazing. I didn't feel nervous at all. A must do as long as you aren't afraid of heights. Plus, landing on the glacier was an experience of a lifetime.
Amazing experience for the whole family
Published on Jan, 2025
The team were all so friendly and attentive. You are looked after from the point of booking to when you arrive. The flight was amazing and the pilot is very knowledgeable. He found the best spots to land in order to maximise the views and very happy to take photos of our family. The stop on the glacier will be a lifetime memory.
Do not miss this!

Fantastic experience. Overcome with the pristine beauty and the geography of the region. Very nice pilot, Cody, who deserves a shout out.
