This has been one of the best things we’ve done in NZ! The pilots were all friendly and chatty and the flight itself was incredible, we took the 16:30 flight (much recommended) and saw the beginnings of the sunset on the mountains! An incredible experience I would recommend to anyone! Was really cool having the helicopter up and ski plane down!
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.
Pack a lunch and throw stones in the lake, or on the ice in winter. Great way to spend the day in Mt Cook
Zach was extremely nice and informative. We were shown around the glacier and got to see an amazing ice cave.
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!!
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!!!
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
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
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.
So beautiful view, and Pilot is so nice and very kind. Thank w
A definite highlight of our trip to the South Island. Staff were friendly and knowledgeable and the scenery took care of the rest. Simply brilliant.
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.
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
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.
It was amazing, the view, the company and of course the captain. So glad we did it, big damage(lol) but definitely worth it....
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.
Don't wait! Book it now...first time in a small plane AND helicopter. Soooo well organised, staff were amasing. Had a good 10 minites on the landing. This is right at our back door, I truly hope any travellers don't miss out because of the weather. 10 out of 10
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.
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.
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
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!
very great and enjoyable ride, the view is amazing. the ground staff and pilot very friendly, helpful and informative. very recommended.
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!
We debated whether to pay out for the more expensive helicopter trip and I'm so glad we did. The views were amazing, the snow landing was perfect and the drive down to Mt Cook airport was just simply stunning. The pilot was knowledgeable, friendly and had no problems in answering our questions or taking the photos that we wanted. We would highly recommend people pay that little bit extra for this experience!
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.
Great experience and had fun.
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!!!
