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 an awesome experience! The weather was perfect and the flight ride was epic, unbelievably incredible scenery. Mark was a calm and professional pilot. Highly recommend for everyone!
Staff were amazing as at first due to thick heavy fog they advised that the flight may have to be cancelled … however they arranged for myself and a few others to go to Mt Cook airport and they flew us from there. It was an amazing experience. Nigel the pilot was incredible … the landing, the snow walk , the scenery. Totally awesome. Would highly recommend this to everyone. Yoshi the staff member was also very good and funny and polite. Loved the whole experience.
We were upgraded to a longer flight and staff (including pilot) were lovely.
Great experience
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
This flight was incredible, we had as perfect day , no clouds nor wind, so a very smooth experience, up close to the soaring snow peaks and landing on the Tasman glacier was a highlight! Felt very s as fe in our pilots capable hands, and enjoyed this flight immensely.
This was undoubtedly one of the highlights of our New Zealand adventure. The views of Mount Cook and the surrounding area were simply stunning. Our pilot was incredibly informative and helped ease the nerves of his passengers. To land on the glacier and to spend some time simply taking in the extraordinary scale of it was special. I can’t recommend this trip highly enough to anyone lucky enough to visit the area.
Our flight got delayed but it was worth the wait. Amazing experience! Highly recommended and our pilot was awesome. Thanks a ton!
It was a great experience. We had a lot of time taking picture with the helicopter BUT when we trying to take picture with the ski plane , the pilot rush us and say no time ( cos he arrived quite late that’s why we got a long time taking picture at the helicopter ) and he doesn’t even help passenger up the seats , a bit not so polite else the whole experiences should have been a whopping
This was an awesome experience. I’d recommend it to anyone who is visiting New Zealand.
Had our flight delayed one day due to weather. We then got the most perfect morning clear sky and hardly a breeze. Lucky to get a free upgrade to a 45min Tasman Glacier landing flight. Boy was this something to remember.
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.
This has to be the highlight of the past 15 months I’ve spent in this country. I couldn’t stop smiling! The staff are very professional and put your comfort above everything else. If they need to get another helicopter, they’ll do it, no question. It was my first time in a helicopter and first time over the twin glaciers. I had the best time! Thanks again!
Unbelievable experience. Got extra time on the ice, great commentary and perfect weather!
A must do experience, its stunning, you see the mountains from a whole different perspective, do it ... you won't regret it, its been a highlight for sure!!!
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 already had quite a discount on the normal price for the 35 minute flight, but on the day itself we got a phone call from Inflight, asking is we wanted to do an earlier flight for the same price, which turned out to be their 55 minute Grand Circle flight!!! It was an absolutely amazing experience, I would recommend it to anyone. I'd like to thank Inflight once again for giving us this opportunity, we loved every second of it!
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!
What an incredible experience! The Pilot was fun, knowledgeable and I enjoyed every minute! Taken to the top and played in the snow! Was one of the best things I've ever done! We even had a snow Fight which was a blast! 5 stars a MUST DO!
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!
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.
Very good
Would rate as my best scenic flight and a bonus to land and look around. The pilot was great A++++ All round
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.
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.
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.
Absolutely amazing
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 :)
Epic scenery and epic experience to match. The team at inflight Mt Cook were amazing. Helpful, informative and reassuring for first time flyers. The views were just spectacular, photos don't do it justice, try it for yourself! The weather didn't let us get as high on the glacier as the usual spot, but the team more than made up for it with more time on the glacier. Thanks very much, we hope to do it again sometime!
One of the best things we have experienced in New Zealand and equal to any other glught in the world. From booking, checkin to the smooth flight ( yes we had a perfect day - no wind or cloud) everything was perfect and very professional. Thankyou for making this a lasting memory.
