Sadly due to torrential rain on the west coast this booking was cancelled but because of these guys and girls we were warned to keep moving up the coast as the weather was closing in.
So they deserve a 10 for giving the best advise. Cheers people

Great experience, great guide but expensive, $395 per person.
Not suitable for unfit people, look for discount vouchers in magazines, brochures and at i-sites.

Absolutely fabulous!
The only thing that makes this a 9 and not a 10 is the weather can make you wait a few days and the price is quite high.

Wonderful experience!
Flying on the glaciers in a sunny day is an amazing experience! The company is professional and the flight was good. It's quite expensive but not more than the others companies!

Flight over Fox Glacier.
Exciting experience. We decided to go on the flight and within an hour we sat in the helicopter. Nice that everybody has a window seat. Front seats are even better than back seats.
