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.

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.

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.

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.

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 🫶

Quick facts about Westport
General info
What to know before visiting Westport
What to do in Westport year-round
Westport is best known for its Tours and Outdoor & sports activities, with guided excursions and open-air adventures leading booking volume on Klook. Demand follows a strong winter spike: December is the busiest month and November also runs high, while late summer and early fall are much quieter. Klook booking data show that Tours attract steady interest through the year, while Outdoor & sports activities have big seasonal dips. For travelers weighing activity options, pick between guided cultural tours or active outdoor days — Klook booking data can help you match timing to each category’s seasonal rhythm.
When to visit Westport
December is the clear peak for visitor numbers, while September is the quietest month; that winter spike contrasts with generally lower demand across late summer. Prices move through the year too: the priciest month on Klook was May and prices dip around August. Where demand and prices align, November–December brings both higher crowds and elevated pricing; for lower prices and smaller crowds, late summer into early fall is the gentler choice. Travel in late summer for lower prices and fewer people, or visit in December for peak atmosphere, according to Klook booking data.
| Month | Demand Level | Typical Price |
|---|---|---|
| January | Peak demand | USD 255 |
| February | Quieter than usual | USD 263 |
| March | Quieter than usual | USD 339 |
| April | About average | USD 341 |
| May | Quieter than usual | USD 467 |
| June | Quieter than usual | USD 270 |
| July | Very quiet | USD 240 |
| August | Quieter than usual | USD 233 |
| September | Very quiet | USD 234 |
| October | Quieter than usual | USD 452 |
| November | Peak demand | USD 332 |
| December | Peak demand | USD 249 |
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 United States
Most travelers here lock plans in around 19 days ahead, with the earliest planners booking about six weeks out; Klook booking data show longer lead times are common for peak months like November–December. That means you can stay flexible for mid- and off-season travel, but consider booking earlier if you aim to travel in December. Last-minute options tend to appear within 5 days of travel. Use Klook to compare tours and outdoor activities, secure popular time slots in peak months, and pick lower-price dates in late summer when both demand and median prices are typically softer.
