Wow Wow Wow
What a wonderful experience. Flying through the mountains and landing on the glacier in the ski plane was surreal. We had such beautiful weather and the views were amazing. We even saw a small snow avalanche on a nearby mountain range. The chopper flight off the glacier was as equally exhilarating. If you get the chance to do this experience don’t hesitate. We highly recommend it.

On top of the world!
A definite highlight of our trip to the South Island. Staff were friendly and knowledgeable and the scenery took care of the rest. Simply brilliant.

Amazing experience, but seat choice matters
The Ultimate Alpine Combo with INFLITE Mount Cook was an amazing experience. The scenery was stunning and the glacier landing was great. The main downside, however, is that the overall experience depends heavily on where you are seated, despite everyone paying the same price. I was seated at the very back on the right side, and the view was clearly not comparable to what passengers at the front (or left side) could enjoy. As for those seated in the middle, their visibility was very limited. We did get the chance to switch seats on the return flight, which was definitely appreciated, but the difference in experience between seats still feels quite significant. That said, it was still an amazing experience overall and one I would recommend.

First Time Ride
Although it was first time for us, the way the operator handled was very much appreciated with consent of Safety and Comfortable. This was our most memorable experience for us and top of our list. Both Staffs and Pilots are very friendly and informative.
