The BEST experience in New Zealand... Natasha, 30min Scenic Flight
"How do I even begin to tell you how simply AMAZING this company are? This once in a lifetime trip encompasses the best New Zealand has to offer; from the staff, who truly are the embodiment of Kiwi hospitality, to the absolutely breathtaking views...it was, without a shadow of a doubt, the best day I spent on my tour of New Zealand! Easily the best value for money and an incredible bonus to land on the glacier and have photos taken (free of charge) with such an insane backdrop. These guys are so on point when it comes to customer service and that's purely because of their genuine enthusiasm and passion for what they do. The landscape made this an experience; the company made it a memory. Thank you so much for an unforgettable day!”
