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 🫶

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.

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

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!

A very fun activity to experience while in New Zealand. The fast but safe jetboat and chill funyak paired with the view of the mountains was definitely a memorable part of our trip.

What to know before visiting Westport

What Westport is known for

Westport draws most bookings for Tours followed by Outdoor & sports activities, so its appeal is split between organised sightseeing and hands-on outdoor time. Demand moves through the year: Klook booking data show a clear high in November and quieter summer months, so the city alternates festival-style peaks with long stretches of low-season calm. If you enjoy guided experiences and active days outdoors, plan around those rhythms — decide whether you prefer lively November atmospheres or quieter summer escapes. All figures and season notes above come from Klook booking data.

Best months to visit Westport

November is the busiest month on Klook, with a sharp rise in bookings, while August is the quietest month of the year. Prices across the last 12 months show a mild summer dip in July–September and a move up towards June; notably the cheapest typical price falls in August while the priciest month in the price series is June. For lower prices and fewer crowds aim for August or September; for the peak-season atmosphere choose November or December. Typical price figures reflect median paid on Klook and demand compares each calendar month with a typical month; prices are shown with their currency code. Based on Klook booking data, July 2025 – June 2026.

Tips for travellers from Hong Kong

Most travellers from Hong Kong book fairly early on Klook — typically around 19 days ahead, with the most organised booking about 41 days out — so planning pays, especially in November and December when demand peaks. If you prefer flexibility you can still find options closer in, but locking in tours and outdoor activities several weeks ahead gives the best choice in peak months. Use Klook to compare schedules and secure spots for guided tours and outdoor experiences before they fill; the platform’s past booking patterns suggest earlier booking during busy months. All timing guidance is based on Klook booking data.
