Awesome glacier heli-hike - The heli-hike on Tasman Glacier was excellent beyond imagination. Our highlight was going down into a temporary ice cave

Excellent heli-hike and tour! - We were so lucky with this tour given the weather it meant we had outstanding views both from the helicopter and the glacier itself. If you can afford the heli-hike and get lucky with the weather it truly is a unique experience. We had a wonderful driver Dan who made sure we got plenty of breaks and stops along the long drive and got us on time to all our experiences! Our helicopter pilot Sam was very attentive and reassuring to nervous flyers and Tori our guide on the glacier was so knowledgeable and friendly. We had a great experience and it was truly worth the money

A special day! - Amazing experience of this day tour to Mount Cook with a funny and knowledgeable guide (Michel). The guide of the Mount Cook hike (Flavia) was able to offer a high-quality tour of the glacier.

Excellent Tour. - We had the best experience with Cheeky and so glad that ther weather was in favour too. Tedd was our tour guide and he was amazing and I would give 5 stars to Tedd and Cheeky. It was very informative and it appeared he had extensive local knowledge. Tedd came inside to speak to reception @ Heli Hike and ensured that we are with the right group. Communication was prompt and there were no delays. It went really smooth. Hunter was our guide at Heli Hike and his energy and passion is remarkable. We had some best photos too. Thank you Cheeky and the Heli hike tours for making our trip so memorable.

Wonderful experience and guide - Well coordinated tour with wonderful, caring driver guide Colin. Highlights were the helicopter to and from the glacier and glacier hike with informative and friendly team leader. Had opportunities to taste very good locally created foods and take beautiful photos.

Long day trip and most of time in the Van - It’s a long day trip, but we literally spent most of time in the small Van all day. We originally booked the Combo Heli Hike, unfortunately our helicopter fly had been cancelled due to the weather condition. It’s very disappointing, but we are not complaining about it. The company has refunded the flight, which is good. So we were ending with the Mt Cook tour. However, it only has few short stops on the way to Mt Cook and the tour guider was a bit of unprofessional. Arriving at Mt Cook we didn’t even have enough time to walk the track and had to rush walk back to the Van. This tour starts early and rush to Mt Cook then rush back. It’s not worth it spend a whole day in the Van and the price is the way too high for just taking you to Mt Cook and take you back.

Terrible experience would not recommend in rain - I would not recommend continuing on this tour is the weather is bad. Unfortunately the helihike portion was cancelled due to rain/wind which was understandable. The only options was to do a hike in the cold rain or wait in the hotel/visitor center for three hours I continued on with the mt cook day your portion assuming I would only have to pay for that tours’ price. However the refund I received was resulted in me overpaying for the mt cook portion and I was told that I could not get full refund for my original trip and recharged with the new current day pricing. Had I known that I was paying extra $20 pp for that day trip I would’ve cancelled.
