The tour guide thoughtfully prepared hot chocolate with marshmallows and blankets for us, so we could lie on the grassland and watch the Southern Hemisphere's starry sky. They explained the names of each star and how to find the South Celestial Pole. It was a night full of knowledge and romance ☺️. They also gave us reusable cocoa cups, and every time I see that cup, I remember the starry sky that night ☺️☺️.

It’s an amazing experience! The tour will provide stars information and knowledge to us before we admire by ourselves. And we can see the stars and planets by the telescope. It’s really amazing and stunning!! We can see the Milky Way in the dark sky and we can also take pictures of the galaxy! It’s a memorial experience.

The experience felt magical and expertly guided. The view of the night sky was breathtaking. The guides were incredibly knowledgeable, explaining constellations, planets, and the stories behind them in a way that was both fascinating and easy to follow. Using the powerful telescopes made the stars and galaxies feel closer than ever. This was the highlight of my trip—an inspiring, peaceful, and truly world-class stargazing adventure.

We booked this Mount Cook and Tasman Glacier helicopter experience at the last minute, a day before the scheduled flight and it turned out to be one of the best decisions of our trip! Our pilot, Josh, was fantastic – friendly, professional, and made us feel safe from start to finish. Even the staff that oriented for the pre-flight (forgot her name). The flight offered breathtaking views of snow-capped peaks, turquoise lakes, and the stunning Tasman Glacier. Landing on the glacier was absolutely surreal, and Josh even took a great photo of us to remember the moment.
Everything was well-organized, and the pilot’s commentary during the flight made the experience even more special. If you’re visiting Mt Cook, don’t miss this - it’s worth every minute and every dollar!

You must join this tour when you visited Mt cook , you could try both Helicopter and ski plane in one time( Go by Helicopter and return by ski plane or reverse）. Very great experience to land the glacier , we could touch and walk on the snow , it’s funny indeed !

The whole tour was amazing, although the itinerary was a bit hectic. Except for Mt. Cook, the other stops were quite short — just enough time to snap a few photos before moving on to the next spot. It’s understandable since the destinations are quite far from Christchurch. They also provided free lunch and snacks (chips), which was a nice touch

Wanted to rate 5 but there was a technical issue a bit during the flight where we did not really hear what captain say on the helicopter. That’s sad whcause I’d love to listen to the story but it must have been the noise all around. However, it was truly a once in a life time experience and highly recommend other people to try!

The staff is friendly. The tour is outsourced to Cheeky Kiwi Travel. If you're staying at a popular location, there might be different Cheeky Kiwi Travel vehicles arriving to pick people up in the morning, so make sure you get on the right one. The journey is long, but the natural scenery of the South Island is beautiful. Since it's all outdoors with hiking trails, the UV radiation is high, so remember to wear sunscreen and a hat.
