Unfortunately the weather was not great. We were hoping to do a scenic flight. If you are fortunate to be there when the weather is good that is a must.

Awesome trip doing Heli hiking on the glacier
2/5 - Disappointing
Liz
Can’t now get anywhere near the glacier, I went many years ago and so different now. Unless you take a flight not worth visiting. I do understand that badly affected by global warming.

We just had one night in Rainforest Retreat. We did the walking in the morning on the way to Westport.
