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.
Pack a lunch and throw stones in the lake, or on the ice in winter. Great way to spend the day in Mt Cook
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.
I tried to get a flight booked from every place traveling from Wellington too Queenstown on the off chance I looked on line came accross bookme .co.nz and they managed to get me on a Helicopter Fight at Franz Josef I cannot put into words how wonderful it was to see the Glacier powerful magic such a privilege Marion
I enjoyed this short and sweet experience. My son enjoyed it most. Highly recommended.
If you are short of time and are not fit enough to do the HeliHike, the 20 min helicopter flight with snow landing is a great experience to bring you to the top and middle of the glacier to experience the magnificence of nature.
It was absolutely fantastic! Thoroughly enjoyed every minute. The helicopter pilot was brilliant. Highly recommend the experience!
A great trip had by myself & Fiona. Landing on the snow was our biggest highlight as well as having a talk with Tim our pilot. The young woman at the office was very friendly and looked after us very when taking us to the chopper pad.
Absolutely fantastic experience to be landing on Franz Joseph glacier.
Speechless. It was so wonderful!
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
An unreal experience that allowed us to see the glacier from a different perspective! Our second time doing this and it was just as incredible as the first time round! We recommend this to all our friends that travel to New Zealand. As the pilots say, if you can fly - fly, because you could travel to the West Coast 100 times and never get the chance due to weather. Make the most of the opportunity if it’s there!
We flight at 1pm for the twin glaciers with landing. It was awesome, great pilot and nice staff. Highly recommend
One of those once in a lifetime experience. Such, beautiful ,amaxing,diverse scenery.Its awe inspiring.You get such a view of the grandeur of the glacier from the helicopter. Truly incredible.
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.
This has to be the highlight of the past 15 months I’ve spent in this country. I couldn’t stop smiling! The staff are very professional and put your comfort above everything else. If they need to get another helicopter, they’ll do it, no question. It was my first time in a helicopter and first time over the twin glaciers. I had the best time! Thanks again!
The heli hike was one of the most memorable things we have done in NZ. All the staff were super friendly and our guide Jon was really nice and informative. There was hardly any waiting around so you do get a lot of time on the ice. The price is very expensive but for an experience that you will probably only do once, it is fairly reasonable.
Weather is perfect. If you went on summer, do not wear too much, a T shirt is fine. They will provide you jacket and pants. It’s gonna be so hot when you start walking!!
We had such a great time. It was well organized and we felt completely safe the entire time. The helicopter flights were quick, but very cool. Our guide was very knowledgeable and fun. We got to explore ice caves and crevasses which were super cool. The company will provide you with proper boots, mitts, socks (all clean), rain jacket and cramp ons. These are included in your tour cost.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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 a simply incredible experience! If the forecast is fine, the 55 min Grand Traverse on a ski plane is the only one to do. In a plane you go further for less money than a helicopter. The pilot and staff were also great. Flying around Mount Cook and Mount Tasman, seeing the West Coast, all the glaciers and finally landing on the biggest one of them all was the best hour of our trip/year. Like someone else said, if you have to save somewhere else on your trip do it but take this flight.
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.
Unbelievable experience. Got extra time on the ice, great commentary and perfect weather!
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!!!
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.
Excellent experience with a wonderful day. A very kind and passionate pilot. Wish the gentleman will meet his family very soon☺️.
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 :)
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.
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.
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!
