the glacier /the scenery... - the glacier /the scenery is wonderful, the pilot is friendly. it is recommended while in Mt.Cook. unfortunately I had to separate with my family because of seat capacity, but the woman (I didn't know her name) at the office had tried to manage it, I appreciated that.

What a huge glacier! - Land on top of the Tasman Glacier and take a glacier walk. The ice is blue and beautiful. I wear crampons, so I feel safe. Be careful not to fall into cracks or holes, and explore the holes that are in season. The ice is cold, but perhaps because of its strong reflection, it's not that cold when the sun is out. I'm glad we were blessed with just the right weather. The view from the helicopter was also amazing. I was surprised that the helicopter flew more smoothly than I expected.

Just do it! - What great fun! It was exciting in the ski plane; especially landing on the glacier. Then the helicopter ride back was very different but equally exciting. The views from both were great and the pilots very friendly and entertaining. Do it!

Best experience in NZ - Must to do in NZ!!! That is like one time life opportunity, you have to try it. It is worth every cent. Unique and amazing landscapes and views during the flight. Landing on the glacier blew my mind.

Fun experience - What a great experience! Our pilot was great and we had a beautiful flight up to the glacier. There was a little excitement because the plane was stuck and my husband helped dig out the landing gear! The views are amazing and I would highly recommend to everyone.

Great experience - We had an amazing experience flying over Aoraki/Mount Cook. The helicopter pilot Mark did a great job of pointing out interesting features and telling us stories. We were lucky that the weather was so clear. Beautiful place and an overall fabulous experience.

Stupendous views and total serenity on the glacier - OMG, what an amazing ride in an equally amazing place. The views are stupendous and by landing on the upper glacier, you feel you are in another world. Mark, our pilot, is hugely experienced (never felt unsafe) and knows the Mt Cook area like the back of his hand. Super interesting to hear about the various flights he does in the area for climbers and hikers. The mountains are tall and precipitous, yet the glacier is serene and soft. We did the obligatory snow angels and simply drank in the alpine atmosphere. Highly recommended.
