An unforgettable experience! - I went on the Glentanner Heli Hike with my adult son and had a truly unforgettable and positive experience. Our guide Brian could not have been more professional, knowledgeable, and friendly, and I cannot recommend him or the trip highly enough. After a thrilling helicopter ride over the glacial valley, we made a high country landing on Glentanner Station. We were lucky to enjoy spectacular views festooned with rainbows that included Mt Cook National Park, the glacial valley and Lake Pukaki far below. The walk back down was easy for anyone of average mobility or fitness and Brian provided an informed and interesting commentary of the station history, geology, flora and fauna of the area on stops along the way. There were beautiful scenic views the whole way down: you cannot take a bad photo. We had an afternoon tea stop at the old DCIR hut, where we greatly enjoyed Helen's famous muesli slice, before returning to the Glentanner Park Centre. My son and I had an experience together that we will never forget. I will always treasure the memory. Zero regrets!

Fantastic nice trip! - Fantastic trip! Started with a very nice helicopter tour in the beautiful mountain area. After this, a hike of approx. 7 km down the mountain, where we followed our guide, Brian. Easily accessible terrain to walk in and fantastic views all the way. Our guide, Brian told many interesting about nature, wildlife in the area and historical facts about ZN. A cozy coffee stop along the way with homemade muesli cake. Thanks to Brian for the trip and the event! Sincerely, Brit.

Excellent - We had an amazing tour/day. Those fantastic views from the helicopter and on the way down the mountain. Our guide Brian was excellent supplying us with lots of information about the land, animals and so on. Majbrit and Niels

Great hiking experiece - It was a great hiking experience. Brian walked with us with his great knowledge and experience, plus his photographer background. Not like other tour, you can truly feel the native landscape, culture. Highly recommended.

Very informative guide! - Loved the helicopter flight as it was our first one! Brian was an excellent tour guide and gave us so much information about the terrain, wildlife, history, and culture. The hike was a good 4 hours, but we stopped a lot for breaks. Also, the terrain was relatively flat for about a third of the hike, the rest was downhill. Great views of Mt Cook and Lake Pukaki.

HeliHike over the Glentanner estate with views of Mount Cook. - Certainly one of the highlights of our 26 night tour of both North and South Island. The short Helicopter flight was amazing and we eventually landed on a plateau to commence the 7k walk back to Glentanner. The walk was excellent with our guide Brian a wealth on information. The walk down was quite gentle with lots of stops including a drink and cakes at the original survey station. Very well organised and would recommend without hesitation.

Out and about in a unique landscape - This tour was the high point of a four-day trip to the area. I was a tad apprehensive at the prospect of a four-hour walk (we're both superannuitants and more used to a walk in the park than a hike in the mountains) but the track was well formed and all downhill, so about right to ensure a good night's sleep without being overtaxing. This is a uniquely spectacular part of the country and a hike like this is the ideal way to experience, rather than just "see", the country. We were travelling in summer and struck a clear calm day. The helicopter ride up lake Pukaki towards Mount Cook was spectacular in itself but still felt safe and calm. Landed comfortably on top of a ridge then walked down with views all the way. Our guide Brian was considerate, personable and a fountain of knowledge about the history, geology, flora and pretty much anything else relating to the area and beyond. I'm a Kiwi and have visited the area before and will no doubt visit again. This experience has made this beautiful part of the country that much more real for me. Definitely recommended.

Highly recommended - A fantastic trip! After a safety briefing we boarded the helicopter. The pilot explained the landscape while we flew. After landing we started the descent. Our guide explained the landscape, flora and fauna. Very informative and interesting.

Amazing adventure! - The helicopter ride offered us breathtaking aerial views, setting the stage for an exhilarating adventure. The hike itself was pleasantly simple, suitable for all skill levels, yet it still boasted great views. This well-organized heli hike, combined with Brian's expertise (and some funny stories), made it an unforgettable experience. I highly recommend this heli hike for anyone seeking a unique and exhilarating outdoor adventure. We had such a good time! Thank you Brian and the team!

Great tour, great guide - Great helicopter ride and downhill hike. Brian (the guide) was very knowledgeable and interesting. Would recommend!
