"Today we did the ski plane and helicopter combo. Both were amazing but I particularly enjoyed the helicopter ride. I never know what I want for Birthdays and Christmas but now I do and it would be a helicopter ride. It was well run, all staff , pilots etc were great. Views amazing and it was lovely in the helicopter to fly so close to things."

"A most visit place to all New Zealanders and Visitors. Hooker Valley track track is the most famous among visitors for its beauty but there are few more tracks, my favourite is the Tasman glacier track which is 20min walk but once your there you don't worry about the time. Me and my wife spend 2 hours of the beauty of the glacier and the peacefulness of the environment."

"Absolutely phenomenal, went on the Grand circle flight and it blew my mind!! Flying so close to the summit of Aoraki and over the Hochsetter ice fall are some things I won’t ever forget, really the best way to fully take in this beautiful part of NZ. Shout out to Maurice, my pilot for his friendliness and photography skills as well as Hannah at the front desk for her help and enthusasium, thank you inflite, I definitely recommend!"

"This was the most epic experience, one you should not leave NZ without checking off your list! We took a ski plane on the Grand Circle to see the Tasman, Fox and Franz Josef Glaciers as well and the Hochstetter Icefall and of course Mount Cook! INCREDIBLE! I can't say enough about the inflite team and my experience, thank you Hannah for you're excellent help in organizing my flight and your welcoming smile and Pete, my pilot, for the grand tour of mount cook!"

"A group of 12 of us got the chance to hop on a couple of ski planes for a 10 minute scenic tour to the Tasman Glacier. Mt Cook Ski Planes and Helicopters were so friendly and gracious and all of us had a wonderful time! I'd highly recommend getting up in the air with them whether it be for 10 minutes or a couple hours. The views are well worth it! Thanks for having us!"
