Things to do in Westport

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!

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!

the skydive experience was great and smooth. we have booked the ultimate photo shooting on their websites. many photos were provided but most of them were failures/ crashy haha. I just uploaded some successful scene photos for you.

It was truly a wonderful experience! Riding the jet boat, we weaved and sped upstream through magnificent mountains and rivers. The driving skills were top-notch, and the 360-degree spins were thrilling and fun. Paddling downstream in the inflatable raft was leisurely and effortless, as long as you could steer. Passing through the more turbulent sections looked nerve-wracking, but with the coach's safe guidance, everyone moved forward smoothly. We even enjoyed a delicious and hearty outdoor lunch midway. I really admire our coach, Michelle; she's like a superwoman! Her explanations were clear and humorous, and she's beautiful, smart, capable, and dedicated. She made my friend, who can't swim, feel completely at ease and happy throughout the trip! I give a big thumbs up to this company for their overall activity planning and teamwork!
