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.

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.

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!

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!

What to know before visiting Westport

Quick overview of Westport and what visitors book

Westport attracts most bookings for tours and outdoor & sports activities, with day trips and active outdoor experiences leading the way. Demand has clear highs and lows through the year, so the city alternates between busy peak periods and much quieter months.

Best time to visit based on crowds and prices

Klook booking data shows the busiest month is November, while August is the quietest. Prices generally fall through the summer and reach their low in August, then drift higher toward the end of the year and into the following spring—June is typically the priciest month. For lower prices and smaller crowds, plan for August or the surrounding late-summer months; if you want peak-season atmosphere and the widest choice of tours, aim for November when demand is highest. Note that demand and prices mostly move together here: the quietest months also tend to be the most budget-friendly.

Tips for travellers from the Philippines

Most travellers lock activities in about three weeks before travel, with many also booking earlier; allow roughly 19 days as a planning reference and consider booking sooner if you travel in November. Tours and outdoor activities are the top picks—browse Klook for available time slots and flexible options so you can adapt plans while keeping typical advance-booking patterns in mind.
