Approximately 12 h trip, totally worth it. The driver was nice, knowledgeable and funny. The time at Mt Cook was just enough to do one walk. The driver was kind to take photos of me. I totally recommended this trip if you are in Queenstown and have done Milford Sound.
Pack a lunch and throw stones in the lake, or on the ice in winter. Great way to spend the day in Mt Cook
One of the best short walks in NZ, takes about 3 hours there and back. Can start from the car park here or walk from the village. Has 3 large swing bridges like this, and.a glacial lake at the end.
We were lucky enough to have two guides take the small group of four that we were with on our day tour from Queenstown to Mount Cook. What a lovely day Shane and Kreig provided. The pace of the twelve hour trip was finally tuned and perfectly managed. There was interesting information provided along the way and a generally relaxed approach to how the day unfolded, which only added to the pleasant experience. Choices were made available as to how we spent our time at Mount Cook, which was also appreciated by us. All in all we had a fantastic day. Thank you Cheeky Kiwi Tours - a
We were a group of 6 people including our greate guide Anna. Weather was absolutely perfect, without any cloud in the sky. We flew up to the Tasman glacier then we were walking on ice with crampons about two hours and then helicopter picked us on a different spot and we flew back. Anna told us a lot of interesting facts about glaciers and mountains and we felt safe for the whole time. We had many opportunities to make unique photos. Walking wasn't very hard, so it was more relaxing trip. We certainly recommend this experience.
We had a wonderful flight with a great pilot. The scenery was amazing and the weather perfect. At the end we built a snowman almost at the top of the Tasman Glacier.
It was surreal flying up among the top of the snow covered mountains. Landing on the glacier and having some time to absorb the surroundings was special. Our pilot was so friendly and was very accommodating when taking photos for us. Recommended. Best way to experience the tasman ice glacier and Mount Coom.
The view was amazing and so pilot so great ! I booked a 35 min fly and got more than one hour ! It's one of those thing that know you have to do when you come if New Zealand! Thanks a lot !
It was a great experience and the view is spectacular and stunning. The pilot, Dan Martin is very friendly and he gave free photo by using his camera. And plus I received free upgrade from 30min to 45min...
It was a stunning, amazing, wonderful hike on the Mt Cook glacier. We were surrounded by mountains and we had an opportunity to climb through multiple ice tunnels. The ice caves were unbelievably beautiful Blue colour. And it was one of my dearest dreams to go on a helicopter flight.
The staff has been fantastic and advised us to rebook our flight due to the bad weather coming ahead. Scenery is truthfully breathtaking and landing on the mountain amazing. Book your flight before ice disappears!!
We did this experience before for the original price and we thought it was worth it to try again with discounted price. We were very surprise that it was totally different experience - equally as good but totally different feel as the weather today is clearer. We were fortunate to get the same pilot. He is Capt Tom. He was so nice and friendly. Totally recommend it for sure!
Everything about this tour, from the pilot to the views to the glacier landing, was breathtakingly beautiful! I can’t imagine having done the tour any other where and we will truly cherish the memories for life! The ride was really smooth and the pilot was fantastic and very informative!
The best part of visiting Mount cook. Views were spectacular. What made it even better was the staff. The pilot went above and beyond, explaining our surroundings and was very curteous, offering to take a couple pictures for us. The lady who looked after the booking before the flight was very lovely too, took her time explaining everything and made sure we were ready for the flight.
An amazing experience and what a way to view Mt Cook and the Tasman Glacier! We had gorgeous weather and it wasn't as cold as we were expecting. Not allowed to bring hats, so recommend sunscreen before you go or a hooded jacket. Big windows so epic photos from the helicopter, and enough time on the glacier. Highly recommended!
Very good
We debated whether to pay out for the more expensive helicopter trip and I'm so glad we did. The views were amazing, the snow landing was perfect and the drive down to Mt Cook airport was just simply stunning. The pilot was knowledgeable, friendly and had no problems in answering our questions or taking the photos that we wanted. We would highly recommend people pay that little bit extra for this experience!
It has been a truly incredible adventure. I have enjoyed every second of the flight. super happy with the service offered. I recommend the experience in 100%
This is highly recommended in Mt cook. The view was amazing. We landed in the glacier and got chance to enjoy the soft snow. Wonderful. Credit to the pilot for such a stable fly.
This was on my husband's must do list for our honeymoon. It was AMAZING! Everything about the experience was amazing. From booking to the pilot, to the flight and experience we couldn't fault it. We managed to get a snow landing and the pilot was very knowledgeable and friendly. The pilot even took photos for us. We were lucky we had a hiking guide on our flight too so explained all the features we were seeing. I was even able to wear my wedding dress so I could get photos on the snow. We Can't wait to do it again and book the longer heli flight. Thanks again for the amazing experience.
단연코 최고... 꼭 하세요 진짜 저는 체구가 작아서 헬기 앞좌석 앉았는데 경치가 말도 못합니다 눈앞에 펼쳐지는 광경이 믿을 수 없을 정도로 멋있어요!!! 글라씨에 호수와 설산위로 비행하며 설명해주고 눈밭에 랜딩해서 촬영할 시간도 넉넉히 줍니다 원래 25분 비행이라 삼십분 정도로 끝날 투어였는데 비행시간도 정상에 머문시간도 길게 해줘서 한시간넘게 걸렸네요 개이득 Perfect moment!!!! 참고로 원래 예약 날짜보다 비행이 하루 밀렸지만 미리 예상하고 스케쥴을 유동적으로 짜놔서 괜찮았어요~
Great tour, fit well with our trip from Queenstown to lake tekapo. Our pilot was a legend, very knowledgeable about the land and glacier. Amazing views of mt cook, we were the only helicopter on the glacier too.
Fantastic adventure/viewing experience. Our luck with the weather made it all the better. Would strongly recommend to all.
This was awesome and I want to come back and do it again. It may seem expensive but the experience is fully worth it. Plus it's only money and your still making it. Highly recommended. Camera is a must. Tip call shotgun for the front seat.
Amazing:)!
Would rate as my best scenic flight and a bonus to land and look around. The pilot was great A++++ All round
We were supposed to do the Tasman taster but were informed due to lack of numbers we had been upgraded to the ultimate Alpine experience. Winning! The whole experience from the staff to the flight which was breathtaking was top class. I can't recommend this highly enough. It has been the highlight of our holiday. If you are thinking about it, just book it you won't regret it.
Great experience and had fun.
Excellent experience with a wonderful day. A very kind and passionate pilot. Wish the gentleman will meet his family very soon☺️.
This is experience was incredible! Highly highly recommend to anyone doing a trip around the south of New Zealand. All staff and the pilot Mark were super friendly! Thank you so much, definitely an experience will never forget :)
Lisa at the check in desk was very friendly and efficient. Rossco, our ski plane pilot was very informative and gave us the experience of a lifetime. Thank you - we will definitely be recommending this experience to our family & friends.
This was a simply incredible experience! If the forecast is fine, the 55 min Grand Traverse on a ski plane is the only one to do. In a plane you go further for less money than a helicopter. The pilot and staff were also great. Flying around Mount Cook and Mount Tasman, seeing the West Coast, all the glaciers and finally landing on the biggest one of them all was the best hour of our trip/year. Like someone else said, if you have to save somewhere else on your trip do it but take this flight.
Life time experience. ❤️
Easy way to see glacier from close. Helicopter ride was awsome and the snow landing was the best part of flight.
