What to expect

Renowned for being the hometown of New Zealand’s largest glacier, Tasman offers exceptional views of mountain ranges, bodies of water, and various natural formations. The best way to see all of it is by taking a helicopter ride over the Tasman Terminal Lake. This exciting experience will let you cruise the Tasman skies and marvel at its spectacular sceneries.

After flying past the beautiful lake, you’ll land on the Aoraki Mt Cook National Park where the highest mountains and the longest glaciers in the region can be found. Have the time to admire its valleys and peaks before capping the day off. You will end your journey with a scenic flight back to Mt Cook Airport with your experienced pilot.

Review for: 25 Minutes Helicopter Flight with Snow Landing or Alpine Landing (Summer Season)

We booked this Mount Cook and Tasman Glacier helicopter experience at the last minute, a day before the scheduled flight and it turned out to be one of the best decisions of our trip! Our pilot, Josh, was fantastic – friendly, professional, and made us feel safe from start to finish. Even the staff that oriented for the pre-flight (forgot her name). The flight offered breathtaking views of snow-capped peaks, turquoise lakes, and the stunning Tasman Glacier. Landing on the glacier was absolutely surreal, and Josh even took a great photo of us to remember the moment. Everything was well-organized, and the pilot’s commentary during the flight made the experience even more special. If you’re visiting Mt Cook, don’t miss this - it’s worth every minute and every dollar!

The tour was cancelled due to bad weather. We called the vendor to double check in the morning, they can only confirmed updated weather 2 hours before the tour time. We managed to rebooked another tour the next day and it was the highlight of my NZ trip. The heli ride experience was awesome, we managed to land near Mount cook and it was snowing with thick powdery snowfall once we stepped down from the helicopter. Expensive but highly recommended.

My family loved the helicopter flight and the short stop on top of the glacier. The pilot, Mike, was also the guide and he was super friendly. However, it was sad to see the retreating glaciers due to global warming.

Expensive but if you want to try a helicopter ride, this is quite fun. You also get to land on snow even in summer! But it's not cold, really very sunny actually - pls bring sunglasses or it's quite glaring. If you have motion sickness might want to skip this or take your meds before hand. Let the pilot know as well.

It was a truly fantastic moment. The captain's professional and smooth helicopter control on a clear day without a single cloud really doubled the joy of the moment. My wife, who was flying a helicopter for the first time, seemed to be the most satisfied.
