It was an amazing experience 🤩🏔️🚁 A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity~ highly recommend joining the glacier hike! Since it was cloudy and rainy on the first day, we changed our slot with the front desk to the next day, and we successfully got bright sunshine and fantastic weather 👍 After checking in, we were divided into groups and went into a small room where they explained important safety instructions for taking the helicopter, taught us how to put on crampons, and then we followed directions to board the chopper. Also, the sun is really intense~ remember to bring sunglasses and put on sunscreen ☀️ Our guide, Kobe, was lively and adorable 🥰 We took a lot of beautiful photos of the ice caves, totally worth it 🫶

The experience was absolutely amazing. The instructors and camera flyers were professional, supportive, and made us feel completely safe throughout the jump.

What an incredible experience. Scott is such a fantastic guide, very knowledgeable and cheerful. The hike was around 1.5 hour with lots of time stopping for pictures, so it was not as physically demanding as expected. The glacier is truly mesmerising, it is one of the best memories I have made in NZ!

We were incredibly lucky to have perfect weather — it was a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Both my child and I were thrilled and had a great time. Our guide Jasper that day was exceptionally attentive and considerate, and we all really liked him. We highly recommend everyone to try the glacier hiking tour.

We arrived at the office, we could take camera/phone, hat (no scarf), didn't need gloves or thick jacket as the chopper is heated and the allowable time in the snow is limited, but the views are spectacular and worth it!

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.

It was a one in a lifetime experience. My family and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Our flight was actually cancelled but the staff was very helpful to arrange for the flight on the next morning. Thank you so much!

Quick facts about Westport
General info
What to know before visiting Westport
What to do in Westport
Westport is best known for outdoor adventures and guided tours, led by strong demand for Tours followed by Outdoor & sports activities across the year. Klook booking data shows Tours account for the highest booking volumes while Outdoor & sports activities draw steady interest from travellers who prioritise nature and active days out. The city's seasonal rhythm peaks in November with a pronounced surge, and quiet stretches in August and October; choose when to visit based on whether you want lively peak-season events or a quieter outdoor escape. All observations are based on Klook booking data.
When to go and what to expect
November is the clear busiest month on Klook, with demand surging above a typical month, while August is the quietest time of year. Prices move through the year with a low in August and a high in June; the two align in winter when demand and prices are both lower, but they diverge before and after the peak season when November demand spikes without the very highest prices. For lower prices and smaller crowds, plan for August or September; for peak-season atmosphere, aim for November or December.
| Month | Demand Level | Typical Price |
|---|---|---|
| January | About average | AUD 473 |
| February | About average | AUD 493 |
| March | About average | AUD 487 |
| April | About average | AUD 481 |
| May | Quieter than usual | AUD 568 |
| June | Quieter than usual | AUD 574 |
| July | Quieter than usual | AUD 467 |
| August | Very quiet | AUD 441 |
| September | Quieter than usual | AUD 442 |
| October | Very quiet | AUD 447 |
| November | Peak demand | AUD 462 |
| December | Peak demand | AUD 473 |
Demand is bookings in that month compared with a typical month, from historical Klook booking data, grouped into the demand levels above; typical price is the median paid on Klook in that month; prices are shown with their currency code. Based on Klook booking data, July 2025 – June 2026.
Tips for travellers from Australia
Most travellers lock things in around 19 days ahead on Klook, with the earliest planners booking about 41 days out, so treat Westport as a short-planning destination where a little forward planning pays in busy months. Because peak demand lands in November, book earlier for travel then; for August and October you can be more flexible. Klook booking data also shows many options are still available within five days for last-minute plans. Use Klook to compare tours and outdoor activities, pick options with free cancellation where possible, and secure spots for popular departures in November to avoid missing out.
