This is a great activity. It was amazing to fly up to the glacier and walk around it. Our guide was knowledgeable. Only negative was we hiked in a small loop from where the helicopter drops you off. I would have been nice to hike a longer distance, but I understand the guides have to consider the capabilities of the weakest member of the group.

It could have been 4.5 stars. Our guide Eric was very diligent and helpful. Explained quite a bit on the geo knowledge. The heli ride was exiting except it was quite short. To be honest, there was not much to see over there but the experience was unforgettable.

This was a great experience! I suggest breaking the groups on the glacier into different fitness levels. We spent too much time waiting for others in the group. I feel like we missed out on some great views because of this.

The should mention that there is a weight limit before they give you all the equipment and explain what to expect, my husband wasn't allowed on. It was a good walk , but not difficult or challenging

Instead of Franz we did Cook Mountain and the tour was properly planned and executed.

My tour was rained out, alas, so there can be no rating. Unfortunately, this site will not accept that, so I've given it a five out of expectations it would have been thus.

Due to bad weather, cyclone, we were unable to join the Heli Hiking Trip but we were able to do the Fox and Franz Twin Glacier Helicopter Flight from Franz Josef instead. The scenic Helicopter flight and snow landing was extraordinary even when the weather was not at its best. I would recommend this trip to anyone passing by the town!!!! :

Last min cancelled hiking due to bad weather, although the weather was seem to be a beautiful day, no rain, no wind, lovely warm sunny day, but somehow not suitable for hiking, even the staff at the office was surprised and thought they were joking._br/_ Offered refund , change date or change to 40 mins Helicoptor ride. _br/_ Had the 40 mins Helicoptor ride with snow landing. It was good, but if I can choose again, I would go for the 20 mins ride, which was half the price, 449 for 40 mins and 250 for 20 mins, both with snow landing

Having had friends do this glacier, we had an idea of what we wanted to do. I believe this is the best option._br/_ The draw is the glacier but the helicopter ride is a big extra to enjoy. Well worth the extra cash._br/_ We looked at the reviews and have to agree this is an exciting and awesome trip to experience._br/_ Easy to book and made easy to experience by the staff. All friendly and ready to help._br/_ A great experience.

Due to bad weather we were unfortunately unable to do the Heli- Hike trip but the Company The Helicopter Line arranged for us to have a 20 minute Scenic Trip over Fox Glacier the next day as we were moving on to our next destination and were very limited for time. We thoroughly enjoyed this trip, it was an incredible experience to fly to and land on the glacier. We would certainly recommend this trip.

Unfortunatly we could not do the Heli Hiking because of bad weather. But the next day we are on a 30min flight to Franz Josef and Fox Glacier and it was an amazing, breathtaking experience. Thanks a lot to Mathew, our Pilot.

Unfortunately the weather would not allow us to land and do the hike. The company were fantastic and very safety conscious. Still had a good time but not what we expected.
