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.
Pack a lunch and throw stones in the lake, or on the ice in winter. Great way to spend the day in Mt Cook
One of the best short walks in NZ, takes about 3 hours there and back. Can start from the car park here or walk from the village. Has 3 large swing bridges like this, and.a glacial lake at the end.
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 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
I enjoyed this short and sweet experience. My son enjoyed it most. Highly recommended.
If you are short of time and are not fit enough to do the HeliHike, the 20 min helicopter flight with snow landing is a great experience to bring you to the top and middle of the glacier to experience the magnificence of nature.
I tried to get a flight booked from every place traveling from Wellington too Queenstown on the off chance I looked on line came accross bookme .co.nz and they managed to get me on a Helicopter Fight at Franz Josef I cannot put into words how wonderful it was to see the Glacier powerful magic such a privilege Marion
A great trip had by myself & Fiona. Landing on the snow was our biggest highlight as well as having a talk with Tim our pilot. The young woman at the office was very friendly and looked after us very when taking us to the chopper pad.
We had such a great time. It was well organized and we felt completely safe the entire time. The helicopter flights were quick, but very cool. Our guide was very knowledgeable and fun. We got to explore ice caves and crevasses which were super cool. The company will provide you with proper boots, mitts, socks (all clean), rain jacket and cramp ons. These are included in your tour cost.
Speechless. It was so wonderful!
It was absolutely fantastic! Thoroughly enjoyed every minute. The helicopter pilot was brilliant. Highly recommend the experience!
Absolutely fantastic experience to be landing on Franz Joseph glacier.
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!
The heli hike was one of the most memorable things we have done in NZ. All the staff were super friendly and our guide Jon was really nice and informative. There was hardly any waiting around so you do get a lot of time on the ice. The price is very expensive but for an experience that you will probably only do once, it is fairly reasonable.
Weather is perfect. If you went on summer, do not wear too much, a T shirt is fine. They will provide you jacket and pants. It’s gonna be so hot when you start walking!!
An unreal experience that allowed us to see the glacier from a different perspective! Our second time doing this and it was just as incredible as the first time round! We recommend this to all our friends that travel to New Zealand. As the pilots say, if you can fly - fly, because you could travel to the West Coast 100 times and never get the chance due to weather. Make the most of the opportunity if it’s there!
Guide Emma and front desk receptionist Christie were very friendly. A big thank you to Emma for offering to take photos. The pilot displayed smooth flying skills, making everyone feel at ease. The glacier's scenery is truly breathtaking. One of the most unforgettable journeys.
We were very well taken cared of by our guide Chris. He let us try and experience walking on amazing glaciers! At first, we need to learn how to walk on ice with our boots with crampons. And then, he made us drink water from under the glacier. He let us go through the hole in the glacier. It was so much fun! We took so many pictures! This is one trip I really enjoyed doing. I will not have second thoughts on doing this again. A must-do!!
Thank ypu Scott!!!
Our guide was really good, she explained things very well and made it informative as it was also a spectacular day and walking on ice is an amazing experience
Things that you have to do at least once in a life time. Best tour ever... if you have the money, go for it!! Thanks guys
Amazing trip once in a lifetime
Zach was extremely nice and informative. We were shown around the glacier and got to see an amazing ice cave.
We flight at 1pm for the twin glaciers with landing. It was awesome, great pilot and nice staff. Highly recommend
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.
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.
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!
It was surreal flying up among the top of the snow covered mountains. Landing on the glacier and having some time to absorb the surroundings was special. Our pilot was so friendly and was very accommodating when taking photos for us. Recommended. Best way to experience the tasman ice glacier and Mount Coom.
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 :)
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!
The view was amazing and so pilot so great ! I booked a 35 min fly and got more than one hour ! It's one of those thing that know you have to do when you come if New Zealand! Thanks a lot !
This was on my husband's must do list for our honeymoon. It was AMAZING! Everything about the experience was amazing. From booking to the pilot, to the flight and experience we couldn't fault it. We managed to get a snow landing and the pilot was very knowledgeable and friendly. The pilot even took photos for us. We were lucky we had a hiking guide on our flight too so explained all the features we were seeing. I was even able to wear my wedding dress so I could get photos on the snow. We Can't wait to do it again and book the longer heli flight. Thanks again for the amazing experience.
Very good
An amazing experience and what a way to view Mt Cook and the Tasman Glacier! We had gorgeous weather and it wasn't as cold as we were expecting. Not allowed to bring hats, so recommend sunscreen before you go or a hooded jacket. Big windows so epic photos from the helicopter, and enough time on the glacier. Highly recommended!
