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
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.
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.
Great experience
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
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 :)
Absolutely amazing
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!
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.
Very good
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%
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.
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!
This is highly recommended in Mt cook. The view was amazing. We landed in the glacier and got chance to enjoy the soft snow. Wonderful. Credit to the pilot for such a stable fly.
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!!!
Very Good experience and the Pilot was very friendly
Unbelievable experience. Got extra time on the ice, great commentary and perfect weather!
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!
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.
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!
Fantastic adventure/viewing experience. Our luck with the weather made it all the better. Would strongly recommend to all.
It was a great experience and the view is spectacular and stunning. The pilot, Dan Martin is very friendly and he gave free photo by using his camera. And plus I received free upgrade from 30min to 45min...
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 !
Great tour, fit well with our trip from Queenstown to lake tekapo. Our pilot was a legend, very knowledgeable about the land and glacier. Amazing views of mt cook, we were the only helicopter on the glacier too.
We were supposed to do the Tasman taster but were informed due to lack of numbers we had been upgraded to the ultimate Alpine experience. Winning! The whole experience from the staff to the flight which was breathtaking was top class. I can't recommend this highly enough. It has been the highlight of our holiday. If you are thinking about it, just book it you won't regret it.
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!!
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.
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.
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!
