Helicopter tour in perhaps the most beautiful part of the planet - Incredible experience… a lot of money but… quickly forgotten once we were up and away. Fabulous helicopter, entertaining pilot and breathtaking views.

Fantastic experience, l must do it again! - This trip was well worth the money, l highly recommend it. Although you are crammed into the helicopter like sardines! It seats 6 but would be better if only 3 were in the back seat instead of 4, especially if you don't go in a group with people you know but their is ample oppotunity to take fantastic photo's during the flight. The landing on the glacier is the icing on the cake & the pilot will take souvenir photo's for you. Our pilot Greg was very knowledgeable & made sure everyone had the oppotunity to see everything. He even tipped the helicopter on it's side so we could look down below us. If you've never been in a helicopter before, & you are a little apprehensive, this is the trip for you as the views are so spectacular you'll forget you are even flying. I'd forgotten how much l love to fly & this trip reminded me l have to book a lesson as soon as l get home!

Stunning trip - We decided on the spur of the moment to book a flight from the Glentanner Holiday park to Mount Cook with landing on the Tasman Glacier. What an excellent trip and views to die for. So pleased we did it and would thoroughly recommend it to anyone.

The best - An amazing flight. The landing on a snow top mountain without a breath of wind was surreal Our pilot Greg was fantastic and very knowledgeable.

The weather stopped us... - The weather stopped us getting up onto Fox Glacier and we weren't sure we'd get up at all but the company worked hard to get us up and it was great! We had a great experience
