We had booked the 55-minute helicopter tour that includes views of the west coast glaciers (Franz Josef and Fox) but the tour was modified due to bad weather over the coast. Instead, the operator gave us this 45-minute tour of Tasman Glacier, Mt Cook and other nearby sites. We were immediately refunded the difference in price. Everything about the tour was great - well organized, friendly and knowledgeable team (ground staff and pilot), and wonderful scenery. The tour included a landing on the glacier. The site is beautiful and it is always a treat to make snowballs in summer. The only thing I would have changed is, the time on the glacier could have been 10 minutes shorter, and allowed for more time to see the amazing scenery from the air. I highly recommed INFLITE and this tour.

One of the best activities we have ever done. Just amazing! Glad we did the Ultimate package so that we could experience the views from both the helicopter (closer to the glacier) and the ski plane (closer to the mountains). Loved our time on the glacier as well. Pilots were amazing and very professional. Can't recommend enough!
Excellent tour, top-notch operator

Incredible and unique experience viewing some of the most amazing views the South Island has to offer. The opportunity to ride in a ski plane is also unparalleled.
The perfect day!

It was a very well designed trip! The weather was perfect! We were only allowed to take sunglasses, mobile phone and camera, better leave everything else in the car. We flew off with a propeller plane, landed on a snow-white glacier, had enough time to take pictures and take in the incredibly beautiful ice landscape. Then we ran to a helicopter. The pilot flew very close to the glacier with us. Both pilots enjoyed their job very much! It was breathtaking what we could see on the flight! I am very glad that we booked this tour! And with the perfect weather we were just outrageously lucky!
Awesome experience!

This was a great experience that my wife and I both enjoyed. Flying in both the helicopter and plane and having the chance to walk on the glacier and see the mountains up close was a unique experience and it will be a must do whenever we are back in the area.

Amazing experience standing on a slowly melting glacier. The glacier surface was too uneven for a ski plane landing so we got the helicopter in and back. Helicopter ride was great too! Our pilot pointed out different mountains, glaciers, lakes and huts along the way.
