Fun

It is awesome. Prepare to be wowed by the stunning nature in Mt Cook Park & the Tasman valley glaciers

Exhilarating with spectacular views

Published on Nov, 2024

This ride was just perfect. The pilot Greg gave us much history of the area and pointed out areas of interest. Then, when we landed on the top of the mountain in the snow field, it was exhilarating. He took pictures and before we even took off the pictures were available in a beautiful card for us to purchase at the end of the Journey, it was worth every penny

Very happy

We did the 35min flight with the landing, we were pleased it took the alternative route as this was much closer to Mt Cook. Weather was great, views, commentary and landing made all the difference. If doing it again, we would do the 40min flight or go from the Mt Cook airport.

Good even for kids!

Professionally run, with friendly and helpful staff. There was a fog at Glentanners and we were told to go Mt Cook aerodrome where weather was better. Our pilot, Dan was knowledgeable and experienced, landing and take off was smooth. I traveled with my kids and they loved it, playing with the snow on top. If going with a young kid may want to have small sweets with u to comfort them, if they have problems with the air pressure in their ears. But otherwise, it’s perfectly fine for young kids. Highly recommended!

Top trip top people

What a magic trip, we hired two helicopters to do a snow landing to celebrate an event, they were so accommodating to what we were after. Thanks to Michael and Simon our pilots and to all the staff for the friendly and fun environment throughout our experience. Making our event so memorable and showing us some of the most beautiful and surreal views in the country. This is not only a bucket list trip but a must do! Again thanks to the team.
