Fantastic 5.0
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.

We booked our flight through Klook, including the pick-up and drop-off service at the Hermitage Hotel, and received confirmation directly from INFLITE. The day before our trip, we sent an email to reconfirm the schedule and they replied swiftly. We were assigned a ski plane to the Tasman Glacier and a helicopter for the return. Walking on the glacier with such stunning views was an amazing experience. Luckily, the weather was great and it wasn't too cold. The pilots were very kind and helpful, even taking many photos for us. This is highly recommended if you are staying at Mt. Cook; it’s a breathtaking way to enjoy the mountain scenery!

Highly recommended for everyone. The whole flight was fun and scenery is amazing from beginning to end. Shout out to the Captain Nigel for buttery smooth ride, you are amazing pilot. Also, the whole crew of The Helicopter Line for awesome service. I will be back.

An unforgettable experience but whether the flight proceeds really depends on the weather so book for the earliest window and plan for flexibility on the timing!

This was an amazing experience. Andy was a great guide and tour operator - he shared a lot of historical facts about New Zealand and Mt Cook (Aoraki). He gave us recommendations on which walking trails to do, had a nice time management - it was a long ride but was very comfortable and insightful. The views of Lake Pukaki and Aoraki and around is stunning, it is all worth the day trip.

Experience the ultimate Christchurch to Franz Josef journey (Day 1) with this immersive small-group tour via Arthur’s Pass. More than a simple transfer, it’s a masterclass in New Zealand’s rugged beauty. Our guide, Joel, made the trip unforgettable with expert timing and local insight. We dodged crowds at the majestic Devil’s Punchbowl and Lake Ianthe, enjoying every spot in perfect light. With a delightful lunch break in Hokitika, this tour perfectly balances adventure and comfort. Day two from Franz Josef to Queenstown was just as spectacular, thanks to our fantastic guide, Martin. His deep knowledge of the West Coast added so much layers to the stunning scenery. We explored the prehistoric beauty of Ship Creek and marveled at the turquoise waters of the Blue Pools. Martin’s storytelling and seamless pacing made the long drive feel like an adventure. If you're heading south, this is the only way to travel!

One of the most comfortable and well curated travel tours. Pick-up from my hotel to the destination with enough time to eat lunch and enjoy the view.

What to know before visiting Westport

Quick snapshot of Westport and what to expect

Westport is a compact getaway known for outdoor activities and guided tours, with most bookings split between Tours and Outdoor & sports activities. Demand swings through the year, peaking late in the year and dipping heavily in late winter, so the rhythm of the season shapes when attractions feel busiest.

Best months to visit and how prices behave

Klook booking data show November is the peak month while August is the quietest month. Prices also drift through the year: August typically registers the lowest median prices on Klook, while June is usually the priciest month. For lower prices and smaller crowds, plan for August or the surrounding shoulder months; for lively, peak-season atmosphere aim for November. Demand and prices mostly move together around the trough in August (both lower), but prices rise into mid-year even before the late-year demand spike.

Tips for travellers from Australia

Most travellers from Australia typically book about three weeks ahead, with last-minute bookings common up to around five days out and earlier planners around six weeks. If you prefer flexibility on a short trip, many Tours and outdoor activities can be reserved close to travel dates; if you travel in November, consider locking key experiences earlier to avoid disappointment. Use Klook to compare available guided tours and outdoor activities and pick options that match your pace.
