Great experience We booked the southern glacier experience with our young family We had to reschedule due to weather so make sure you book in at the start of your trip to allow for this Our pilot Bill was fantastic! Very informative and even pointed out the goats for the kids. Enjoyed our landing on the glacier and got some great pics (thanks Bill) Scenery is amazing! Highly recommend. Felt like a very professionally run operation 🚁 will come back next year

Was an excellent flight, Bill was an amazing pilot, he got us nice and close to the mountains to see how beautiful the scenery was, and was a wealth of knowledge on the area. The whole staff were amazing as well and I will definitely be taking another flight with these guys when I return later in the year.
