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
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!!
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%
Very good
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.
Amazing:)!
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.
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!!!
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!
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.
Easy way to see glacier from close. Helicopter ride was awsome and the snow landing was the best part of flight.
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 :)
One of the best things we have experienced in New Zealand and equal to any other glught in the world. From booking, checkin to the smooth flight ( yes we had a perfect day - no wind or cloud) everything was perfect and very professional. Thankyou for making this a lasting memory.
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.
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.
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!
Fantastic adventure/viewing experience. Our luck with the weather made it all the better. Would strongly recommend to all.
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 !
It was an amazing trip with a beautiful weather and very professional pilot!
Unbelievable experience. Got extra time on the ice, great commentary and perfect weather!
Would rate as my best scenic flight and a bonus to land and look around. The pilot was great A++++ All round
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!
Great experience and had fun.
Excellent experience with a wonderful day. A very kind and passionate pilot. Wish the gentleman will meet his family very soon☺️.
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.
