Reviews

We are travelling NZ for a month and this was on our bucket list. It was the first time our family have been in a helicopter as well as visited and experienced snow. The staff are amazing, friendly and genuinely keen for you have have the best experience possible. The weather was coming in bad so they went out of their way to rearrange the day to ensure we had our flight rather than cancel like the bigger companies do. The pilot "Poppy" was just fantastic. Loved every minute of it. I am so glad we chose geese guys to help us enjoy the experience.

The experience of your life you hope to expect, but way better!!  After some online research and guidance from our Lonely Planet book, we opted to go down to the office for opening time on a sunny day, and see what the tour was about and if there was availability.  The staff were super friendly, and helped us get booked onto the Glacier Explorer flight.  A quick safety briefing and a short shuttle bus journey, we were swiftly boarding the helicopter and on our way!  The flight was breathtaking! Taking us up into the mountains, over the ranges and overlooking the glaciers in the area.  Half way through, we dropped down and landed on the mountain itself to get some snaps.  25 minutes feels a lot longer than it does!  It's one of the best experiences we've had, not only the flight, but the experience the friendly, welcoming staff and pilot gave.  A must-do to get a proper look over the mountain ranges and glaciers

What a wonderful experience from start to finish. Very professional, warm. welcoming and accommodating. Poppy was our pilot and a great host. Yes the experience is an expense but well worth it for seeing the two glaciers and putting the mountain range magnitude into perspective. Highly recommended.

What an amazing experience!!! Very professional operation. From our cottage base, we could see 'the others' landing in town, and they looked like they were in a race!! Poppy was our pilot, and we felt very safe with her - careful and thorough. Great and informative trip - and especially great pictures to remember the moment! Thank you, guys!

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!If I could give them more stars I would. The friendliest kindest people you've ever met. From the moment we walked in the door, everyone was a legend! Not a single person who works here was having a bad day. What an incredible experience. And still plenty of snow for the middle of summer!!! And Poppy is an amazing helicopter pilot!!! Wow,life goals! Bucketlist item. Check. Just do it. Don't think about it. Go book it it already. Now. Why haven't you booked it yet? Go on....

We flew with this great company on 11/08/2022, taking advantage of their eat, stay and fly package. What an amazing, inspiring and breathtaking experience. Family owned and operated, they really looked after us and ensured we had the best time on our 45 min flight including a snow landing. Thank you so much for an amazing highlight of our time in NZ!

Did the scenic flight to Franz Josef which was amazing. Get a short stop on the snow to take in the views and take photos. Gus was our pilot who was friendly, knowledgeable and helps take photos. Best time to go now while tourism is low so you get the views to yourself. Worth every cent!

The landing site was pristine with no other signs of humans. It was an epic flight to Franz Josef Glacier. Felt safe and comfortable the whole time, extremely soft landing by Poppy each time. The staff and crew nailed the experience

Amazing experience!! This is a 'must do' when visting Franz Jospeh. Family run business, very friendly, safety a top priority, amazing time on a helicoptor and seeing the glacier up close- will do this again and highly recommend Poppy and her team- thanks guys for a wonderful time

Easy to check in, walkable from most accommodation in Franz Josef. Friendly staff, especially the driver to the helipad who eased any nerves I had. The whole trip was awesome, had plenty of time on the top of the mountains to take many pictures. Would highly recommend!
