5.00Amazing flight out to mount cook and the glaciers. We flew so close to the mountain edges and had paranomic views of the mountains, glaciers and esp Tasman Glacier. We landed on top of it for about 15 min and that point, the ice was 250m deep. Had a knock off 20% black Friday discount. So worth the journey.

5.00This was the highlight of our New Zealand trip, a fantastic experience. Firstly we were impressed by how they rearranged our trip to a different day because clouds meant limited visibility, it would have been easier for them to send us on a trip with less visibility. When we went visibility was excellent and landing on the glacier high up in the mountains was such a treat, excellent pilot who made us feel so looked after. Outstanding.
10 Stars! BEST flight ever!

5.00We want to give 10 STARS! We did the Grand Circle Helicopter flight with Pilot Mark. Where do I begin......the day was clear and the weather gods were on our side. Mark was extraordinary! He was calm, and has a wealth of knowledge, and not once did I feel uneasy. We saw Mt Cook, flew over Franz Josef and Fox glaciers and landed on the Tasman glacier. This flight was phenomenal and the BEST scenic flight I have ever been on. Thank you Mark for keeping us all safe, and the team at Inflite, we cannot stop raving about our wonderful experience with you.
Must do!

5.00Unforgettable experience that’s well worth what we paid! We flew higher than I initially anticipated and actually managed to get very close to the summit of Mount Cook.

5.00On 18th January 2023 my party of 2 adults and 2 children (all Kiwis) did an amazing flight on a ski plane that took about an hour and flew us from Mt Cook airport in a big loop around Mt Cook itself then landing on Tasman Glacier before returning to the airport. Basically, it was amazing. Like once in a life time wow factor to see the scenery of the Southern Alps and the West Coast and to land on the glacier. Words fail to describe how good it was. We had an 0830 flight but it was delayed, due to clouds, for about an hour and a bit. But the company dealt with this smoothly. One of the adults (not me!) was a reluctant flier but Dan, our pilot, was exceptionally good at managing all of us including the nervous one amongst us. That he has decades of experience helps. These flights are not cheap, cost us about $NZ2k. So I wasn't sure if I would get a sense of value for money. But I needn't have worried, it certainly was value for money because the experience was for all of us so, so amazing. The best two grand I ever spent!!! If I could rate it 11 out of 10 I would.
Highly recommend, even for timid flyers

5.00Echoing the many great reviews. Absolutely fabulous, felt very safe in the hands of Dan and the ski plane though I'm a timid flyer. Great sights. We couldn't land because of wind, but the company went out of their way to accommodate a landing later or refund. Great customer service, friendly, clean facility, great plane, great piloting. Highly recommend.
Fanastic experience, absolute must do

5.00There is no scenic flight in New Zealand which matches the awesomeness of the flight around the glaciers including landing on a glacier. If you were to choose one scenic flight to do in New Zealand, this is the one. Make sure you put it high on your bucket list as you won't regret it. The staff are very friendly, helpful, skilful and knowledgeable. The experience takes you so close to the Southern Alps; in particular Aoraki Mount Cook itself. You feel as though you could reach out and touch it. The manouevrability of the Pilatus PC-6 is amazing. The magic happens when you land on the glacier in a plane - the landing is so smooth you don't even know you've touched down - the only way of knowing you've touched down on the glacier is by looking at the snow/ice spray from the skis. Whichever glacier you end up landing on, it will be extraordinary experience. Paying a little extra for a view of the West Coast glaciers and the chance of landing on the Fox or Franz Josef Glaciers if conditions are suitable is worth it in my view. Even if it's overcast (if the cloud ceiling is above the mountains), it'll be worth it. Don't forget your sunglasses and even sunscreen as the glacier reflects everything back onto you from all angles. I'd do it again in a heartbeat, no doubt about it.
Best activity of our whole tour of NZ - #1 without doubt

5.00Absolutely the best thing we did on the whole trip of both islands in NZ - without doubt! As we had to get to Christchurch by 3pm we just booked the shortest helicopter flight (Tasman Glacier only) from the activity centre at the Hermitage Hotel in Mt Cook. We were told on arrival at the airport we couldn't go until lunchtime as they needed another couple. We explained we had to be flying nowish then away so after a brief conflab they upgraded us to a plane which did the whole mountains & glaciers circuit AND landed on the Tasman Glacier itself - in other words the cheapest/shortest flight w/o landing to the longest with landing! Btw the views were stunning, the walking about in shorts & T-shirts on a glacier was surreal and the Aussie pilot a fun & knowledgeable guide. THANK YOU SO MUCH to INFLITE! Don't leave Aoraki/Mt Cook w/o doing a flight - any flight!

5.00This experience was absolutely magical. Weaving our way up and around the glaciers onto the West coast with a landing high up on Fox Glacier. Stunning views, exceptional customer service. Highly recommend a visit and an experience on any of there flights. Mt Cook Ski Planes and Heli's happily catered for our team of 35-40 members of the Canterbury Aero Club across many of their flight experiences making it a highly enjoyable and unforgettable memory.
