Very special experience! The staffs are friendly and the instructions are clear. All passangers please get ready your waterproof shoes, the snow are thick.

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.

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!

must-try experience to go for despite being on the pricier side. Got to see breathtaking views of Mount Cook. We were lucky to be the first one on at 10am, you will need to arrive earlier at 9.45am and go through a safety briefing. the landing on the snow was done very safely and smoothly, snow was still knee deep. Overall 10/10 experience.

Very good experience. The scene is wonderful and captain is fun&warm. Great adventure if you didn't do this kind of activity often.

The scenic flight experience was fantastic! It not only cut down on travel time but also offered a unique perspective of New Zealand. Afterward, we took a helicopter to the glacier hiking spot. Our guide led us to some unique terrain and allowed plenty of time for photos. I'm so glad I participated in this activity!

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 🫶

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.

Experience: The animals were all very friendly and enthusiastic. Before starting, each person receives a box of feed, which can be used to feed the animals all over the farm. The tour guide took us to various animal zones for introductions and feeding. Since I was traveling alone and it was inconvenient to take photos, the tour guide proactively offered to take pictures for me 📷! I am very grateful to her!
Safety: The animals did not bite. The cows were so enthusiastic when they saw the feed that they licked people with their tongues, leaving a lot of drool on our hands when feeding them 😂😂😂. The pigs are very smart and will sit on command.
Facilities: After finishing the tour, there are shoe-cleaning tools provided outside the restroom, because your shoes will be completely muddy after going inside. It is recommended that visitors bring their own shoe covers, otherwise you will end up like me and have to wash your shoes when you get back 😁.
Location: It's about a 12-15 minute walk from the city center, which was acceptable to me because my guesthouse was right next to this farm.
