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 🫶

The experience was absolutely amazing. The instructors and camera flyers were professional, supportive, and made us feel completely safe throughout the jump.

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.

Quick facts about Westport
General info
What to know before visiting Westport
What to do in Westport
Westport’s busiest bookings come from Tours and Outdoor & sports activities, so the city is best known for guided explorations and active outdoor experiences year-round. Klook booking data shows demand rises and falls through the year, with steady interest in tours and a spike in outdoor activity during the late-year peak. Visitors can expect a mix of sightseeing, hands-on outdoor adventures and local tours that suit both casual travellers and more active groups. Decide whether you want festival-style crowds or quieter outdoor time when planning, as Klook booking data shows strong seasonality.
When to visit Westport
November is the clear busiest month and August is the quietest according to Klook booking data, so expect the most energy and bookings in November and a much calmer scene in August. Prices drift through the year: the price series shows the lowest typical payments in August and a priciest point in June, while demand peaks in November—so crowds and prices do not always match. For lower prices and smaller crowds, aim for August or September; for peak-season atmosphere and events, choose November.
| Month | Demand Level | Typical Price |
|---|---|---|
| January | About average | PHP 18,850 |
| February | About average | PHP 19,623 |
| March | About average | PHP 19,386 |
| April | About average | PHP 19,148 |
| May | Quieter than usual | PHP 22,597 |
| June | Quieter than usual | PHP 22,835 |
| July | Quieter than usual | PHP 18,613 |
| August | Very quiet | PHP 17,542 |
| September | Quieter than usual | PHP 17,602 |
| October | Very quiet | PHP 17,780 |
| November | Peak demand | PHP 18,375 |
| December | Peak demand | PHP 18,850 |
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 the Philippines
Most travellers book well ahead here: Klook booking data shows people typically book about 19 days ahead, with the earliest planners booking around 41 days out. That means planning pays—lock in tours and outdoor activities a few weeks before travel, and consider booking even earlier if you’re going in November when demand peaks. If you prefer flexibility, last-minute options still exist—many things remain bookable about 5 days before—but you may face fewer choices in peak months. Use Klook to compare schedules and secure spots for your preferred dates.
