A very special experience. The helicopter ride is about 8 minutes each way. Remember to bring a sun hat and sunglasses as the sun is strong. Other gloves, pants, jackets, and shoes are available on-site, so you don't need to bring them. Walking around on the ice can also get hot. The guide said we were lucky to have an ice cave to take pictures in.

We had an amazing time during the Glacier Heli Hike and Flight experience. Everything was well organized, and the staff were incredibly friendly, professional, and welcoming. A special thanks to our pilot, who was so kind and helpful, even taking the time to help us capture some wonderful photos. The glacier views were absolutely breathtaking and made for an unforgettable adventure. Highly recommended to anyone visiting New Zealand!love from Malaysia! https://vt.tiktok.com/ZSQRMyQ5r/ if you want to see my video from that magical day!

This glacier hike was a fantastic experience! We chose a time when, as it turned out, only four of us were in the group, so we had even more interaction with the guide. Our guide was Andrea from Canada (her Chinese name is 烈婭). She was very friendly and professional, and through our conversations, you could really feel her passion for hiking. During the process, besides learning how to walk on snow with crampons, we also went to two small ice caves to take photos and drank water flowing from the glacier. She also took the initiative to capture some beautiful photos for us. It was a truly fulfilling experience!

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!

What to know before visiting Westport

Quick overview of Westport and what people book

Westport draws travellers mainly for Tours and outdoor & sports activities, and demand follows a clear seasonal pulse. Bookings peak in November and fall to a low in August, so the year swings between lively late-autumn months and a much quieter late summer.

When to visit for prices, crowds and atmosphere

According to Klook booking data, the busiest month is November and the quietest is August. Prices drift down through the late summer and early autumn months and then rise again into the following spring and early summer, with Klook data showing August typically as the cheapest month and June typically the priciest. If you want lower prices and smaller crowds, consider visiting in August or the surrounding quieter months; if you prefer the peak-season atmosphere and the most activity, aim for November when demand is highest. Note that prices and demand mostly move together here: the quietest months also tend to show the lowest prices.

Tips for travellers from Hong Kong

Travellers from Hong Kong typically book around three weeks in advance on Klook, with many final bookings made within about five days of travel, so you can be flexible yet still plan ahead. For peak-month travel in November it helps to lock in popular tours and outdoor activities earlier—roughly a month or more—while late-summer trips can be put together closer to departure. Use Klook to compare options and secure activities once your dates are set, keeping those typical lead times in mind.
