Customer Reviews

Our flight was excellent. Our pilot Angus kept us informed as we flew along and took pictures of us in front of the aeroplane on the glacier. All very well run.

Truly an unforgettable and great-value experience. We had the chance to ride in two different helicopters and see stunning views from the highest snowy peaks. Our flights were cancelled twice because of the weather, but it made today’s experience even more special — totally worth the wait.

It was awesome, weather was so nice. I started with the ski-plane, amazing views and landing on the glacier was special. We spend 10minutes to take some pictures with the ski-plane and helicopter. Then we switched and went back with helicopter, where it shaked more in. Incredible experience, it’s one in a lifetime

I thoroughly enjoyed my experience and felt safe and looked after from start to finish. What an amazing way to experience Mt Cook and Tasman Glacier. The scenery, the interesting commentary and landing on the glacier were a once in a lifetime moment and I can fully recommend it! Thanks to both our pilots and the ground staff!

The experience was extraordinary from beginning to end. Although I was somewhat apprehensive regarding how turbulent and tricky the flight might be, given that we’d be flying close to mountains and vallies, it turned out to be completely smooth and comfortable. The pilots of both vehicles were professional and very good at their jobs, and took pains to not only ensure our safety, but also to give us great views of the glacier and the mountains. I promise you the flights are worth every penny.

I booked my combo flight the night before and am so glad I did. I was picked up at the Mt Cook Lodge and brought to the office. Important to know is not to worrry about hats, scraves and gloves as you cannot take them with you. Dress warmly as it is cold if you do a glacier landing. Loved having the opportunity to be on two different aircraft. The helicopter can get closer to the mountains, but the ski plane was also a smooth ride and great overview. We had great pilots and the check in staff were friendly and helpful as well. I have done several helicopter rides: Alaska and Kauai. This one was equally as impressive and it was nice to get close to Aoraki and the glacier. Highly recommend this ride and know the 45 minutes in the air still goes very quick.

The plane itself and our pilot Blair made us feel very safe…and as for the rest of the experience, both on the ground and in the air…this is one of the very best scenic flights on planet earth…do it!

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!

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.

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 🇳🇿.

Andrew F. | 24 Feb 26

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.

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!

Moritz H. | 15 Feb 26  

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)!

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.

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!

Todd N. | O8 Mar 26  

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.

Mark H. | 10 Feb 26 

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.

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

Jane R. | 08 Feb 26

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.

Bridget A. | 31 Jan 26

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
