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.

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!

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!

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.

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.

What to know before visiting Westport

What travellers book in Westport

Westport’s most-booked experiences are Tours followed by Outdoor & sports activities, and Klook booking data shows that demand rises and falls through the year rather than staying steady. Activity bookings cluster around sightseeing and active outdoor days, with Tours dominating overall volume and Outdoor & sports activities strongest among adventure-seekers. If you’re deciding when to go, the main choice is between soaking up the peak-season atmosphere in November and December or aiming for quieter months for more space and lower typical prices — choose peak months for lively events or quieter months for better value, according to Klook booking data.

When to visit Westport

Demand on Klook peaks in November and stays strong in December, while August is the quietest month of the year; that pattern comes from historical Klook booking data. Prices move differently: the typical price drifts across the year and reaches its highest median in June, and July is the lowest-priced month. Where demand and price align, November has high interest but only midrange typical prices; for lower prices and much smaller crowds, consider July or August, while November–December suit those after peak-season atmosphere.

Month Demand Level Typical Price
January About average MYR 835
February About average MYR 1326
March About average MYR 1358
April About average MYR 1306
May Quieter than usual MYR 1537
June Quieter than usual MYR 2177
July Very quiet MYR 592
August Very quiet MYR 1253
September Quieter than usual MYR 1492
October Very quiet MYR 1460
November Peak demand MYR 880
December Peak demand MYR 1302

Demand is bookings in that month compared with a typical month, from historical Klook booking data, grouped into the demand levels above; typical price is the median paid on Klook in that month; prices are shown with their currency code. Based on Klook booking data, July 2025 – June 2026.

Tips for travellers from Malaysia

Most travellers from Malaysia tend to book around 19 days ahead, with the earliest planners securing activities about 41 days out; Klook booking data is the source for these habits. That level of planning means you can often stay flexible and book a week or two before travel, but during November and December it's wise to lock in popular tours and outdoor activities earlier. Use Klook to compare typical options, keep an eye on July and August for lower typical prices, and book in advance for peak-month dates to avoid missing your preferred time.
