This was one of the best experiences we did on our trip in New Zealand. We got views of Mount Cook and walked on the galcier. Our pilot Andy was fantastic, gave us lots of facts and information on our flight making it a great experience. Thank you!
It was a wonderful experience that we highly recommend! The flight was thrilling, with an exceptional pilot who gave us some fascinating insights into the glaciers. The landing on the glacier was incredibly smooth, allowing us to fully enjoy the scenery and take plenty of photos. The view was simply breathtaking. A big thank you to our pilot, who was absolutely brilliant from start to finish!
Awesome experience - you get to see some incredible views of the coastline and mountains as you take off and head up to the glaciers. We had a fun pilot called Matt who explained the history of the area and glaciers, and when we landed on the glacier he helped out by taking a few pictures! The whole trip was amazing, great views and would really recommend it.

100% worth it !!!
The Tasman Experience with INFLITE - West Coast was hands down the best experience of my South Island trip. From start to finish, the entire process was fantastic and seamless, thanks to the amazing staff. Our pilot, James, was incredible—extremely knowledgeable and kept us engaged with great commentary about the mountain ranges, alpine huts, and glaciers. The icing on the cake was landing on Tasman Glacier. Stepping onto the ice to take in those surreal 360-degree views gave us the best photos of our entire journey. If you want a world-class flight in Franz Josef, this is it.
