Mount Cook Scenic Flight Reviews

Todd N. | 08 Mar 26 | Ultimate Alpine Experience

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Amazing experience we’ll never forget! Thank you to our pilots Blair and John. Both knowledge of the area and extremely friendly. Highly recommend this tour!

Mary Ann G. | 04 Mar 26 | Tasman Taster

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

We only booked our 25 minute “Taster flight” last minute and the longer duration flights were sold out. However, the 25 minutes we had was an amazing experience and the highlight of our trip thus far. From arriving at the Mt Cook airport until we disembarked from our flight, we found the staff friendly and efficient and professional.
We had plenty of time on the glacier to capture the amazing scenes and our pocket was informative, friendly and helpful throughout. I highly recommend this experience. Booking ahead is essential.

Lori R. | 24 Feb 26 | Ultimate Alpine Experience

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

The experience exceeded all expectations! Our helicopter pilot, Mark, took extra care to explain what we were looking at, to ask us about our trip, to share his life experiences and really personalize the entire morning. He is a gem and your company is lucky to have him! We were truly blown away by the entire operation, thank you!!!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

It was an amazing trip – the ski plane flight was brilliant and helicopter back was good.
It was a perfect day tondo the trip and the time on the glacier was more than enough. The best experiences i have done in New Zealand 🇳🇿.

Allan S. | 10 Feb 26 | Ultimate Alpine Experience

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

From start to finish our experience was very positive. Unfortunately due to poor weather our original flight was cancelled but the company were brilliant with communications and rescheduling is for an alternative date.
The flight itself was fantastic. Helicopter up to the glacier, time on the glacier and ski-plane back to base. A once in a lifetime experience.

Xuan A. | 16 Feb 26 | Ultimate Alpine Experience

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

The helicopter flight over Mount Cook and the Tasman Glacier was absolutely breathtaking — stunning views of snow-capped peaks, massive icefalls, and turquoise glacial lakes the whole way. Landing on the glacier itself was the highlight; stepping onto the ice in complete silence with 360° of majestic mountains felt truly unforgettable. Highly recommend this once-in-a-lifetime experience — professional, safe, and worth every penny!

Moritz H. | 15 Feb 26 | Ultimate Alpine Experience

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

We had an absolutely amazing 45 flight onto a glacier. The outbound trip was on a propeller plane and the inbound trip was on a helicopter. I think we were lucky to have this setup. The weather was on our side so we had incredible views. During the flight the pilots pointed out landmarks and info about the scenery. The whole system including safety briefings are professionally organized. Breathtaking views. Highly recommended!

Peter B. | 12 Feb 26 | Ultimate Alpine Experience

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

This was a fantastic experience from start to finish, one of the most memorable experiences of our 7 week trip in New Zealand. Apart from the excitement of the helicopter and ski plane flights, the mountain landscape was spectacular and the landing and time spent on Franz Josef Glacier was incredible.

Graham W. | 11 Feb 26 | Grand Circle

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

What a trip! Very well organised and professional. The Pilatus Porter aircraft was perfectly adapted to the trip. The views were simply stunning but the highlight of the trip was landing on a snowy plateau high in the mountains. I would book to do it again in an instant (if my wife was paying)!

Mark H. | 10 Feb 26 | Tasman Taster

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Everyone was charming and friendly and the flight was spectacular. Perhaps people could be made a little more aware that the ski plane is more risk of being cancelled than the helicopter flights: we were cancelled twice.

Kyle S. | 09 Feb 26 | Ultimate Alpine Experience

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

The team were gracious and helped us rebook several times in order to avoid bad weather. We eventually had the opportunity to fly on a beautifully sunny morning. Had an amazing experience! We flew in a helicopter to the Tasman Glacier, and back in the ski-plane. It was an amazing experience. Would thoroughly recommend.

Jane R. | 08 Feb 26 | Glacier Highlights

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Everything about the experience was first class – check in, safety brief, comfort & space in helicopter & of course our pilot Sam. He was professional, knowledgable & fun. The flight and landing on the ice were awesome & we have some amazing photos from the flight.

Karen B. | 06 Feb 26 | Tasman Taster

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I had a fabulous experience and full marks to our pilot Andrew for his excellent care. I would recommend this flight to all

Pistek | 06 Feb 26 | Ultimate Alpine Experience

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

The feeling of passengers before departure, during the flight and after landing is very important and the good mood, smile and positive attitude of every member of the airline can contribute to this. That is exactly what we felt and so we put our trust in the professionalism of the team. For many of your passengers, such a helicopter flight or landing on a glacier is a unique moment that will never be repeated and in addition to the beauty, they will also remember how they felt. Thank you

Andrew C. | 06 Feb 26 | Tasman Taster

Stephen W. | 02 Feb 26 | Ultimate Alpine Experience

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Definitely agreed opportunity to take advantage of we were originally gonna do just the helicopter but when we did the snow plane and helicopter together, all agreed it was very much worth it. Steve from America.

Bridget A. | 31 Jan 26 | Tasman Taster

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Everyone made us feel informed on safety yet relaxed. From the front desk to the preflight rundown.
We were a group of 6. Sam Y took us up on a glorious day. He had such a friendly manner and made us feel safe. Safety instructions were simple and easy to understand which is much appreciated when all your senses are heightened. The information about all the incredible surroundings and landscape was great too.
Take off and landing were perfect. Overall we had an amazing flight which will stay with us forever. Thanks Sam and team.
