Do yourself favour and experience such an amazing place!! Weather seemed sketchy but being up there with clouds, and rain probably added to the experience.

Great experience. Pilot was very good and gave a running commentary. Ground staff were very helpful moving our flight to a time later in the day when we could definitely be able to land on the snow

Everyone from the driver, check-in staff and pilot was extremely friendly & accommodating. This was my first time flying in a helicopter and I was so high on life after. I believe this is what we call blissful equanimity - such a meditative but also elating feeling. I appreciated the pilot's commentary as well. Kind of regret that I didn't dare to go straight for the heli hike, but hey - something for next time!

Our two guides, Heitor and Jack, were super. We felt very safe and well taken care of at all times. They paid attention to everyone in the group, motivated and supported us, and created a great atmosphere. The tour was incredible; I would 100% recommend it.

Unfortunately our tour was cancelled due to bad weather. Headout acted promptly and provided a full refund within 36 hours. This was such a relief and I would thoroughly recommend Headout for their support and professionalism.
