Sarah our guide was brilliant and Ellen helped us switch to an earlier booking which I am so so grateful for, otherwise our experience would have been cancelled due to low cloud! I cannot recommend this enough, the helicopter flight was amazing and everything was so smooth. The hike over the glacier was nothing I'll ever experience again. If you can afford it, do it!! You won't regret it!”
