Amazing experience! Loved every second of it
Mount cook had a dumping of snow in the previous few days so the scenery was spectacular. Sam was a great pilot & very easy to talk to. As we stepped out of the helicopter on the glacier the snow was knee deep. Would do it again in a heart beat.
Flew over so many different glaciers, the views were stunning! Then spent a good amount of time on the Tasman glacier. The pilot, Simon, was very professional and insightful. Overall, it was an amazing experience and is 100% recommended.
This was a fantastic experience. We had a clear day with new-fallen snow. The views were breathtaking. The plane-helicopter combo gave us maximum advantage on sights. Landing and takeoff on the glacier was easy as was the whole flight. The pilots were experts and provided out key info. All the staff was friendly and efficient. Thank you for the memorable time!
