Mt Cook from the Air. WOW! - Having done a previous helicopter trip to the Mendenhall Glacier, this was a “must-do” trip during our visit to New Zealand. The Mt Cook region is spectacular and the views from the air even more so.
Great service and crew, very safety conscious and a wonderful experience beginning to end.

Cancelled - but the 25 minute tour was great - Booked, but this tour was cancelled : "Due to the weather conditions on the Glacier, our skiplane pilot has cancelled the flight for safety purposes."
We were offered and accepted the 25 minute tour instead, which was great and we were provided with a refund of the difference in price from Tripadvisor - but unfortunately Tripadvisor keeps prompting us for a review of the 45 minute Combo tour which didn't happen. Lift your game Tripadvisor.

Absolutely unbelievable experience - This sort of trip has been on my bucket list for a while. I missed out on a ski plane trip in Alaska 2 years ago but I wasn’t missing out this time. We left on the ski plane & returned on the chopper & it was sensational. This is a must do experience. You’ll love it.

Magnificent views - The original scheduled tour was cancelled due to weather condition, but it got rescheduled without issue. Although we didn’t get to be on Ski Plane but on helicopter both way, the scenery is still worth it. Magnificent view from the flight!

Great experience - The flights in the ski plane and helicopter were different but both were amazing! But we had to wait 20 minutes in very hot sun before loading at the airport and for that I took off a star.

Outstanding variety of views - Views of glaciers and mountains from helicopter and plane provided exceptional variety. Staff was extremely helpful and made up for the fact that the experience was not as handicapped assessable as described
