Tổng quát

Soar through the sky on this 55-minute scenic Helicopter experience through the Mt Cook and Westland National Parks flying over the Fox, Franz Josef and Tasman Glacier, included a glacier landing (10-15 minutes). The ultimate way to see the Southern Alps and a bucket list flight.

Check in closes 45 minutes prior to the flight time.

Really poor customer service!! Original date cancelled due to rain, which I have no complaints over. Returned for rearranged date, to be told unable to do 55 minute flight but can do 25 mins. Agreed to this reluctantly. They said it was due to weather but more likely due how many rearranged flights they had to do. They then cancelled that flight! No attempt to rearrange or prioritise us given they already cancelled! Won’t even describe the chaos inside the building!!

Our service from Inflight Ski Planes Limited was disappointing. We scheduled the 55 minute Grand Circle Tour. Two days before the flight we were told we had to take a tour an hour later than we booked due to our helicopter not being full. Then less than two hours before the scheduled flight we were told that our tour was canceled but we could take a 25 minute “Tasman Teaser” tour an md we would be refunded the difference (which we were within a few days). We arrived to the airport an hour before our flight to check in and there were dozens of people waiting for helicopter tours. They seemed to be from a very large group. We were placed with a family from this group for our tour. Our flight left 15 minutes after the scheduled time. While our pilot was competent in his skill, it seemed like he wanted to end his day quickly. After a snafu with the seatbelts we were off. Right away he said that he could not tell us much over the headsets due to all the chatter from other copters in the air. We ended up landing on top of a mountain (not a glacier) but since we were the last to leave in a group of 5 or 6 helicopters we had the worst position on the mountain for the view of Mt. Cook and the valley below. The tour said the landing was supposed to last 8 minutes, but when we landed our pilot said we have 5 minutes to look around. After we got back in the bird, he seemed to take a pretty quick and direct rout back to the airport. I can’t believe I’m saying this about a helicopter ride, but it was pretty underwhelming. We understand that weather concerns can change plans with helicopter tours, but it felt like we were just squeezed in with a much larger group. There are many other helicopter tours in the Mt. Cook area, from other small airports a little further away. If your driving in you’ll see them. I’d suggest checking out some others before booking with this tour company.

Incredible experience seeing top of MT. Cook and getting to land on the glaciers. Well worth the price!
Joyful scenic helicopter ride!

Not a single minute was wasted. Stunning views, prime helicopter, and not noisy at all!! Every single minute felt like a once-in-a-life-time moment, for a newbie to helicopter like me 😊 we flew kinda (seemingly) close enough and and went above and between the glaciers. I feel it I had taken 25mins it would have made me felt quite short about the tour hehe the staffs were also super friendly and nice. Enjoy the fly!!
Epic flight over Mt Cook

We had a fantastic time! The weather was absolutely perfect! Great company that puts safety first. Awesome experience, was more impressive than we anticipated by far. After hiking the day before to Tasman Glacier and walking the Hooker track to the top, it was so awesome to see how big the Mt Cook land mass area really is. The glaciers are so huge, they go on and on! They was the best day of our 3 weeks in New Zealand.
