From Helicopter Line - Franz Josef Glacier HELI HIKE (Ex Franz Josef)
Hi Yuk ki Tong, Thank you for taking the time to leave us valuable feedback. We are sorry that you were disappointed in your Heli Hike with us. For safety, we do Hike on the flattest part of the glacier as the higher serracs are too treacherous. We cannot guarantee ice caves of similar features as the glacier is always evolving and moving. Because we Hike on the safest part of the glacier, this does mean that the flight up is a short, direct flight to the ice heli pads. The ice time spent on the ice is roughly 2 hours, but not all that time is spent walking as the guides do stop often to show you the best features on offer for the day and for guests to be able to take photos. Once again we are sorry you were disappointed in your excursion with us and wish you a safe journey home. Kind Regards, The Helicopter Line, West Coast Team

冰川徒步
一次不可能复制的旅程，非常惊艳。中国有很多雪山冰川，却从来没这么近的接触过。近两个小时的徒步，向导一路精心照顾，看到冰梯冰洞冰缝，美极了

很好的一次体验
第一次来到冰川，虽然说是走三个小时，但走的很慢所以一点都不累。唯一不足的是衣服有点大有点旧，也可以穿自己的衣服如果不怕弄脏的话。总体来说值得尝试
From Helicopter Line - Franz Josef Glacier HELI HIKE (Ex Franz Josef)
Hi there, Thank you for your review. We class the Heli Hike as two hours ice time and 3-4 hours for the whole process from check-in to de-boot. The walk is slow as it is over uneven terrain and clients are wearing heavy hiking boot and crampons. Clients are required to wear the waterproof gear that we provide over clients own warm layers. We are glad you had a great experience with us overall. Kind Regards, the West Coast Team.

不值得
雖說冰川是西海岸一個重要的項目，但是這個只是搭飛機然後到冰川上面走兩步。 雖然有半日的行程，但是走冰川可能只有500米的樣子，走一部要同很久等導遊開路。也沒有帶我們穿越冰川，只是在上面走。 和宣傳照片差得遠。
