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
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.
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.
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.
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!!
Thank ypu Scott!!!
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
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
Amazing trip once in a lifetime
Zach was extremely nice and informative. We were shown around the glacier and got to see an amazing ice cave.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
So beautiful view, and Pilot is so nice and very kind. Thank w
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.
It was amazing, the view, the company and of course the captain. So glad we did it, big damage(lol) but 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.
This is a must do experience. Stunning views, experienced abs knowledgeable pilots. Friendly staff. Honestly you won't regret this experience.
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!
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
very great and enjoyable ride, the view is amazing. the ground staff and pilot very friendly, helpful and informative. very recommended.
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!
단연코 최고... 꼭 하세요 진짜 저는 체구가 작아서 헬기 앞좌석 앉았는데 경치가 말도 못합니다 눈앞에 펼쳐지는 광경이 믿을 수 없을 정도로 멋있어요!!! 글라씨에 호수와 설산위로 비행하며 설명해주고 눈밭에 랜딩해서 촬영할 시간도 넉넉히 줍니다 원래 25분 비행이라 삼십분 정도로 끝날 투어였는데 비행시간도 정상에 머문시간도 길게 해줘서 한시간넘게 걸렸네요 개이득 Perfect moment!!!! 참고로 원래 예약 날짜보다 비행이 하루 밀렸지만 미리 예상하고 스케쥴을 유동적으로 짜놔서 괜찮았어요~
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%
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 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.
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!
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!
