From Helicopter Line - Franz Josef Glacier HELI HIKE (Ex Franz Josef)
Hi Carina, Thank you for your wonderful review. We are so thrilled you enjoyed your Heli Hike with us and the guide gave you a fantastic experience. Not every trip is able to experience ice caves due to the way the glacier changes therefore the glacier tunnels you experienced would have added something a little extra special. Wishing you a safe journey home. Kind Regards, The Helicopter Line, West Coast

Unbeschreibliches Erlebnis
Nach einem kurzen Flug zum Gletscher sind wir durch Gletscherhöhlen und an pittoresken Formen vorbeigewandert. Unvergesslich!
From Helicopter Line - Franz Josef Glacier HELI HIKE (Ex Franz Josef)
Hi Heike, Thank you for the great review, it sounds like you had an awesome time up on the glacier! It is a very unique experience and a beautiful place to be. Being able to see the caves is also a bonus as the glacier is always moving so the features are always changing. We hope you had a wonderful time in New Zealand. Kind Regards, The West Coast Team

Grandios
Sehr gute Organisation lief alles wie am Schnürchen, netter Guide tolles Wetter, toller Flug einfach ein gigantisches Erlebnis.
From Helicopter Line - Franz Josef Glacier HELI HIKE (Ex Franz Josef)
Hi there, Thank you for leaving us a review. We are thrilled you found our experience to run like clock-work and the weather worked in your favour. The weather here is very unpredictable and plays a huge role in whether we fly or not. Kind Regards, The West Coast Team

Teuer aber gut
Auf dem Gletscher rumlaufen ist definitiv eine coole Erfahrung, leider kommt man aber nur mit dem Heli hoch, wodurch es sehr teuer ist, obwohl man nur ein paar Minuten fliegt. Es ist definitiv kein "scenic flight", wie gerne geschrieben wird, sondern eher ein 5 Minuten Airtaxi. Wer das macht, sollte es wegen des Gletscher machen, und nicht wegen des Helifluges :-)
From Helicopter Line - Franz Josef Glacier HELI HIKE (Ex Franz Josef)
Hi there, Thank you for your review. The Heli Hike is definitely an awesome experience. The flight is a short but it does give you some scenic views of the area and you see far more in the air than you would see from the ground. Unfortunately the only way to access the Glacier to hike on is from the air. It cannot be accessed from the ground as the terminal face is too treacherous. We are pleased to hear that you enjoyed your trip with us. Kind Regards, The West Coast Team

Absolutes Muss!
Es ist wirklich atemberaubende schön! Macht Spaß sogar der Heliflug lohnt sich auch wenn er nur kurz ist. Ein absolutes Must-See!
From Helicopter Line - Franz Josef Glacier HELI HIKE (Ex Franz Josef)
Hi Alicia, Thank you for your review. The Heli Hike is a definite must do while in New Zealand and the views are rather beautiful. Kind Regards, the West Coast Team.

Töller Flug und und wandern auf dem Gletscher
Wir hatten zu zweit einen tollen Flug hoch auf den Gletscher und sind bei strahlendem Sonnenschein und blauen Himmel fast zwei Stunden über Teile des Gletschers gewandert und durch Gletschertunnel geklettert. das gesamte Personal und auch der Guide auf dem Gletscher waren super nett und es hat alles wunderbar geklappt. Wir haben die Zeit und den Ausflug total genossen.
