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.
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.
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 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!!
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.
Thank ypu Scott!!!
Zach was extremely nice and informative. We were shown around the glacier and got to see an amazing ice cave.
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
Amazing experience. Pilots were friendly and knowledgeable. Was so cool being surrounded by a sea of white. We had the best weather too.. It is definitely worth it
From having the most helpful & nicest receptionist to having an amazing once in a lifetime experience no words or pictures can express how grateful. Love your team and worth every cent
It was pretty awesome! I was lucky with last space with deal for combo flights and everything was great and I have huuuuge experience! Somebody shared their review with same deal, but company gave them just one option - helicopter or plane, not combo. I had no problem with that. I can recommend it! Sharing just two photos, because you need to see it by yourself.
This is a must do experience. Stunning views, experienced abs knowledgeable pilots. Friendly staff. Honestly you won't regret this experience.
very great and enjoyable ride, the view is amazing. the ground staff and pilot very friendly, helpful and informative. very recommended.
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.
So beautiful view, and Pilot is so nice and very kind. Thank w
It was amazing, the view, the company and of course the captain. So glad we did it, big damage(lol) but definitely worth it....
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.
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!
The experience itself was great, however I booked helicopter ride and ski plane in one trip only to be called & told they hadn’t done those trips for about 7mnths. I could choose either of them but not have the deal for both. So why advertise that’s it’s available if your not providing it? So we opted for the ski plane as hadn’t been on one before. Loved landing on the snow. The pilot gave us in inflight info & was happy to take pics for us. Had a great time, but I would have preferred what I originally booked.
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.
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.
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!
It has been a truly incredible adventure. I have enjoyed every second of the flight. super happy with the service offered. I recommend the experience in 100%
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!
Easy way to see glacier from close. Helicopter ride was awsome and the snow landing was the best part of flight.
It was a stunning, amazing, wonderful hike on the Mt Cook glacier. We were surrounded by mountains and we had an opportunity to climb through multiple ice tunnels. The ice caves were unbelievably beautiful Blue colour. And it was one of my dearest dreams to go on a helicopter flight.
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.
Unbelievable experience. Got extra time on the ice, great commentary and perfect weather!
