Although the weather was not suitable for the flight, I could see snow on Mt Cook! It’s really cool! Our guide was so nice and helpful!

The heli hike tour is definitely once in a life time experience for me. The helicopter ride and a hike on Mt Cook was like a dream. The guide Lynatte is one of the sweetest person I have met in NZ. She is so knowledgeable and shared so many fun facts and history with us. She has a lovely cheerful personality. Love her!

My wife and I had an unforgettable experience with our helicopter flight and glacier hike at Tasman Glacier. The scenery was breathtakingly beautiful and awe-inspiring. Our guide, Sonia, was incredibly dedicated, enthusiastic, and responsible, which made the trip even more enjoyable. We highly recommend this adventure and are grateful for Sonia’s excellent guidance.
