It was a really great experience with scenic views. If you are traveling during winter, do get your shoes prepared for the snow and ice to prevent slipping.

The guide Huter is very professional, very nice and clear in his explanations. I highly recommend it! Although I know that most people go to the glacier to take pictures, you should not take pictures crazily on every short section of the road. It makes everyone waiting for you a little tired, and the guide is also a little helpless

The flight experience was very good. There was also a Chinese explanation before the trip, educational knowledge points, no need to worry about airsickness. When landing on the top of the mountain, the captain also enthusiastically helped take pictures. It was a very good experience

Very satisfied with the itinerary. There were arrangements to get off the bus to take pictures during the itinerary. The scenery along the way left a deep impression on me. Klook has different guided tours to participate in. Next time, I will book other attractions through Klook.

This trip was unforgettable. Although it lasted from 6am to 7pm, the tour guide was very professional and knew how to liven up the atmosphere. She made the whole trip very enjoyable. The scenery of Mount Cook was beautiful, the trail was comfortable and relaxing, and the tour guide also took us to another viewing platform, which was picturesque. I highly recommend this trip, it is a good choice for self-guided travel without driving!

I really recommend joining their tour! The pre-trip instructions at the beginning were very detailed. All the equipment was complete and clean, so you didn't have to bring anything with you. The helicopter seats and groups were carefully arranged (the seats for the outbound and return trips were swapped), and the helicopter was also very new. The on-site glacier tour guide was friendly and professional 👍, and took us to explore the ice cave. We were lucky that it was sunny that day, but the temperature was still very low. It would get hot after walking around. It is recommended that you bring sunglasses, the sunlight is very glaring and the ultraviolet intensity is off the charts, so be sure to apply sunscreen! I think this trip is worth it, the icebergs are magnificent and full of memories💯
