Fantastic 5.0
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!

This was an amazing experience. Andy was a great guide and tour operator - he shared a lot of historical facts about New Zealand and Mt Cook (Aoraki). He gave us recommendations on which walking trails to do, had a nice time management - it was a long ride but was very comfortable and insightful. The views of Lake Pukaki and Aoraki and around is stunning, it is all worth the day trip.

Experience the ultimate Christchurch to Franz Josef journey (Day 1) with this immersive small-group tour via Arthur’s Pass. More than a simple transfer, it’s a masterclass in New Zealand’s rugged beauty. Our guide, Joel, made the trip unforgettable with expert timing and local insight. We dodged crowds at the majestic Devil’s Punchbowl and Lake Ianthe, enjoying every spot in perfect light. With a delightful lunch break in Hokitika, this tour perfectly balances adventure and comfort. Day two from Franz Josef to Queenstown was just as spectacular, thanks to our fantastic guide, Martin. His deep knowledge of the West Coast added so much layers to the stunning scenery. We explored the prehistoric beauty of Ship Creek and marveled at the turquoise waters of the Blue Pools. Martin’s storytelling and seamless pacing made the long drive feel like an adventure. If you're heading south, this is the only way to travel!

One of the most comfortable and well curated travel tours. Pick-up from my hotel to the destination with enough time to eat lunch and enjoy the view.

What to know before visiting Westport

Discover Westport’s highlights and rhythm

Westport shines for travellers who love outdoor pursuits and guided tours: the top categories are Tours and Outdoor & sports activities, which together shape most bookings. Demand swings through the year, with a clear high point in November and a much quieter late winter dip in August.

Best months to visit for crowds and prices

According to Klook booking data, November is the peak month for demand while August sees the lowest demand. Prices drift through the year and do not exactly match demand: the priciest month on Klook bookings is June, while July is typically the cheapest, making July notably lower-priced than June. If you want lower prices and smaller crowds, aim for July or the quieter late-summer months; if you prefer peak-season atmosphere, plan for November when activity is busiest.

Tips for travellers from Malaysia

Most travellers from Malaysia book a few weeks in advance — the typical lead time is around 19 days, with some booking earlier and last-minute options available about five days out. For peak-month travel in November, consider planning and reserving activities earlier to secure popular tours and outdoor experiences; for spontaneous short trips, many options remain bookable at short notice. Use Klook to compare timing and availability so you can pick the mix of price and crowd level that suits your trip.
