Things to do in Aoraki / Mount Cook

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 🫶

Very special experience! The staffs are friendly and the instructions are clear. All passangers please get ready your waterproof shoes, the snow are thick.

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!

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!

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.

Very good experience. The scene is wonderful and captain is fun&warm. Great adventure if you didn't do this kind of activity often.

must-try experience to go for despite being on the pricier side. Got to see breathtaking views of Mount Cook. We were lucky to be the first one on at 10am, you will need to arrive earlier at 9.45am and go through a safety briefing. the landing on the snow was done very safely and smoothly, snow was still knee deep. Overall 10/10 experience.

It’s very valuable for travelers without car rental. We can get enough rest during the driving time. Even though the weather is slightly raining, tour guide Amy still provided her passion to help us to finish this beautiful trip. Thanks Amy.
