Pack a lunch and throw stones in the lake, or on the ice in winter. Great way to spend the day in Mt Cook

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

Speechless. It was so wonderful!

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.

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

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!

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.

Awesome experience. Dan (pilot) was fantastic and very informative and the check in staff were great too. Highly recommended.

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

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!

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

Thank ypu Scott!!!

Amazing trip once in a lifetime

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!!

Zach was extremely nice and informative. We were shown around the glacier and got to see an amazing ice cave.

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.

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

It was amazing, the view, the company and of course the captain. So glad we did it, big damage(lol) but definitely worth it....

This is a must do experience. Stunning views, experienced abs knowledgeable pilots. Friendly staff. Honestly you won't regret this experience.

So beautiful view, and Pilot is so nice and very kind. Thank w

Once in a lifetime experience, with amazing views definatly worth the discounted trip. Bonus commentary from helicopter pilot on our way back was really cool. You get a fair amount of time to hang out on the glacier. Safety was paramount, Good trip overall.

Fabulous flight on a fabulous day, with a fabulous pilot. Loved it all despite the ski plane not flying due to lack of snow on the glacier.

We are so happy to have chosen the combo ! the team was great and really welcoming, we flight up with the skiplane, the landing on franz josef glacier was fun! We had plenty of time to enjoy the landscape, take pics ans play in the snow and we flight back with the helicopter, like VIP! Thanks Inflite team for this great experience!

Best way to celebrate my mums 80th. This was on her bucket list and was well worth the cost. The only reason I drop a star is because unfortunately we couldn’t do the plane component which mum really wanted to do. For me personally though, it was perfect.

It was an amazing experience to fly over then land on the glacier. All the staff from pilots to support crew were welcoming, professional and confidence inspiring. Thank you to them all. Our return via helicopter was also fantastic with 'close up' views of mountains, crevasses and glaciers.
