It was a clear blue sky and we tried to book the advertised $99, 10 minute ride, just to view the glaciers...no landing. We called at 9:00am, and we were told to call back because they needed 4 people to take the helicopter out. We checked in at the office around 10am, they told us to come back in another...

Normally I don't complain but felt compelled on this occasion. We booked 4 adults at $275 which included a glacier landing. We received a discount of $15 per person due to booking a group of 4. The main reason for choosing this particular flight was for the glacier landing.
We were dropped off at the landing strip (5 mins from...

We arrived in Fox late on a very misty afternoon. Having had great weather we were a bit disappointed and thought our helicopter flight just might not happen. We were able to book putting down a deposit having been assured that all would be well the next day.
The following morning we had a misty start but this soon cleared...

We chose to book with this company because they were a small company, they offered a glacier landing as well as mountain views and offered a window seat for each passenger. We were very lucky with the weather and the trip itself was outstanding. Would highly recommend this company to anyone looking for this type of experience.
Expert pilots and fantastic experience landing on the snow. Great views of mount cook and the two glaciers
We gave our friend the scenic flight around Fox and Franz Josef glaciers, with vistas of Mt Cook and Mt Tasman, as a 30th birthday present.
At $275 NZD for an adult, and half price for our 8 yr old child, this was by far the best value-for-money flight we have had in the region - and we have done...

We had a wonderful experience when flying over the Southern Alps with Mountain Helicopters. The staff were friendly and very helpful. Nathan, our pilot, was very friendly and ensured we had a great trip. He also was patient and helpful when a less agile couple from our party were finding it hard to get into the helicopter. The commentary was...

I cannot say enough about the excellent service and experience my husband and I had in May 2012. We opted for the Flight C option - the 30 MIN MT COOK & FOX GLACIER FLIGHT which included a landing on top of the Alps and crystal clear views of literally dozens of glaciers including Franz and Fox. Our pilot Brooke...
