Thank you Nicki, I have passed your feedback onto the team!

We had an amazing experience with Glacier Country on their Ultimate Explorer trip. Originally we had booked for the afternoon but the forecast was for heavy cloud so we had phoned to query if the trip would go ahead and they offered to move us onto the earlier flight. We had blue skies with a small amount of cloud starting to roll in. Seeing the glaciers from above was incredible, as was the snow landing. The pilot commentated on the landscape as we went and was keen to ensure we all got the best views regardless of the side of the helicopter we were sat on. One of our top NZ experiences so far!

Thank you for the review Gareth, the weather does change fast here so having some flexibility really does helps us get you out during the best weather!

Joanna Kelly from New Zealand wrote on 17 March 2022

Best views from the top of NZ!

Gus and Megan were so friendly and knowledgeable, shifting flights around so customers had the best weather experience. Highly recommend this company and trip - it should be on everyone’s bucket list to do at least once! Thanks for an amazing adventure, Jo
