Amazing experience! Friendly and knowledgeable pilot and safety a priority. Must do activity in Wanaka!
Absolutely awesome. My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed the helicopter ride up to the glacier landing! The pilot was very helpful in pointing out interesting things along the flight, shared a lot of cool information, and also took some photos at the top so we didn’t have to rely on selfies.
