Fantastic 5.0
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.

It’s very valuable for travelers without car rental. We can get enough rest during the driving time. Even though the weather is slightly raining, tour guide Amy still provided her passion to help us to finish this beautiful trip. Thanks Amy.

Great 4.0
Taking the shuttle from Queenstown to Mount Cook was great. The driver arrived at the hotel promptly to pick us up, provided enthusiastic service, and the scenery along the way was beautiful. They stopped at all the passing attractions and provided commentary. They even prepared bottled water and snacks.

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!

What to know before visiting Westport

What to do in Westport

Westport is best known for Tours and Outdoor & sports activities, with Tours leading bookings followed by Outdoor & sports activities. The year's rhythm is pronounced: demand stays about average through the first half of the year, dips into quieter and very quiet months around May–October, then spikes for a distinct peak in November and remains high in December. Use this pattern to choose your pace: pick quieter months for relaxed outdoor time, or travel in November for peak atmosphere. All trends are drawn from Klook booking data.

Best months to visit Westport

Most travellers crowd into November, which is the clear high point, while August and October are the quietest months; prices meanwhile fall to their lowest in August and climb to a high in September, so demand and price don't always move together. If you want lower prices and smaller crowds aim for August or the surrounding quieter months; if you want peak-season energy visit November–December when demand is highest and prices tend to be higher.

Month Demand Level Typical Price
January About average SGD 394
February About average SGD 427
March About average SGD 419
April About average SGD 428
May Quieter than usual SGD 417
June Quieter than usual SGD 435
July Quieter than usual SGD 390
August Very quiet SGD 189
September Quieter than usual SGD 473
October Very quiet SGD 349
November Peak demand SGD 405
December Peak demand SGD 370

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 Singapore

Most travellers book well ahead — typically about 19 days ahead, with the earliest planners booking roughly 41 days out — so treat Westport as a short-term planning trip: lock in must-do tours and popular outdoor activities a few weeks before travel, and consider booking earlier for November and December when demand peaks. For flexibility, last-minute options still exist (many are available within about 5 days), but peak months reward advance planning. These recommendations are based on Klook booking data and will help you secure preferred times and providers on Klook.
