Once in a lifetime experience - This was amazing, a once in a lifetime experience. Our pilot Mike was excellent, he provided us with an excellent commentary and information during our flight. Landing on the glacier was incredible. It was well organised and very professional with regular email communication about the flight and checking in process etc and safety briefing before our flight. A must do trip when in New Zealand.

Absolutely awesome - It was amazing. Our pilot was great and very informative. I get travel sickness and was worried how rough the flight would be but I found it to be very smooth and didn’t feel sick at all. Seeing the glaciers and then landing and walking on them was awesome.

Crisp tour of Mount cook with Majestic views - One of the best helicopter rides with birds eye view of Mount Cook and the Tasman Glacier. Worth every penny we spent. I highly recommend making the reservation ahead of time to confirm your spot.

Less comfortable - Great views, but when we booked the flight we were promised a 4 people flight to be more comfortable, we also had to wait extra time to get this option. Unfortunately at the end another 2 people were placed with us and there for the flight was less comfortable and obstructed views
