You must join this tour when you visited Mt cook , you could try both Helicopter and ski plane in one time( Go by Helicopter and return by ski plane or reverse）. Very great experience to land the glacier , we could touch and walk on the snow , it’s funny indeed !

No need to arrive early, as they only allow check in at EXACTLY the time of your booking. Everything was quick and smooth.

Really enjoyed this experience and was lucky enough to have a sunny day for it. However, for the 20-minute tour in the summer, the glacier experience doesn't fly to the actual glacier, but only stays beside ice blocks. Still, it was very novel and fun. If you want to participate in a glacier experience with actual glaciers, you need to join a longer tour because the distance is further. But for us first-timers, 25 minutes was more than enough and novel.

This is an experience of touring Cook Strait and the Southern Alps, as well as Fox, Franz Josef, and Tasman Glaciers. The helicopter landing on the snow was not possible due to the weather conditions at the landing site, so we took a light aircraft tour as an alternative. The scenery was so beautiful that I highly recommend doing it at least once. The safe flight and the rich explanation of the terrain and landscape are the highlights. My child loved it very much.

Great experience. Pilot was informative and professional. The whole event was smooth from check-in, to briefing to heading to the helipad. 10/10 would highly recommend them.

Operator may be flexible for schedule adjustments due to weather. We got called to move up our tour if we wanted and could make it after the weather cleared and sun came out the day before our scheduled tour.

great experience and amazing view on the glacier, we hiked to an ice cave. The operator provides warm layers if needed. We felt very safe flying and hiking with them
