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 !

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!

Great experience. Pilot was informative and professional. The whole event was smooth from check-in, to briefing to heading to the helipad. 10/10 would highly recommend them.

Operator may be flexible for schedule adjustments due to weather. We got called to move up our tour if we wanted and could make it after the weather cleared and sun came out the day before our scheduled tour.

The instructors are very patient and don't speak too fast, so even people with bad English can understand 🥹. They guide tourists step-by-step on the glacier, and there are always two staff members accompanying you, so you feel very safe. I highly recommend that everyone visiting Mount Cook include this trip in their itinerary! When you get on the helicopter, the staff will also check each seatbelt to make sure it is fastened tightly. If there's a next time, I think I'll bring my family to participate again!
