It's Heli Hike day!!!!

To say that we were excited would have been a massive understatement. Thankfully, the weather was on our side, it was blue skies with not a cloud in sight!

Before we knew it, we were checked in, and all kitted up, ready for our 3rd helicopter ride since leaving home. The views on the way up were spectacular, but nothing beats the jaw-dropping backdrop that greeted up as soon as we landed.

We spend the next 2 hours walking around the glacier, taking in the sights, and most importantly, trying not to slip over!

As the trip came to an end, we enjoyed our helicopter ride back down to the base camp where we continued our journey.

We stopped over at Lake Matheson and enjoyed a 4km walk around the reflective lake and then carried on until we reached our stop for the night in Haast.Read more
